Charity is Not Puffed Up

Is Not Puffed Up
Sometimes we think we are pretty hot stuff. Sometimes we can see that we are better than someone else at x, y and z. So what? King Benjamin lays it out plainly that we are ALL unprofitable servants--that we cost more to the master than we are worth. In Helaman it is clear that the dust of the earth is better than we are. Pride is destructive from top down or bottom up. Sometimes we get all puffed up with our trials and misfortunes--very Mrs Bennet (nobody knows what I suffer with my nerves) if we are not puffed up then what should we be? Humble


Humble

We need to seek the will of the Lord not the will of the Insert-Your-Name-Here. Does the Lord want us to be the shade tree or the currant bush? What if we don't want to be the currant bush?
