Proud vs. Broken...how do you rate?
Continuing to look at the list from Revive Our Hearts that compares the attributes of persons who are proud verses those who are broken.
Proud = Concerned with being respectable, with what others think; work to protect their own image and reputation.
Broken = Concerned with being real; what matters to them is not what others think but what God knows; are willing to die to their own reputation.
Proud = Find it difficult to share their spiritual need with others.
Broken = Willing to be open and transparent with other as God directs.
It’s always important to keep in mind God’s perspective.
“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.” - Psalm 51:17
“He mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble.” Proverbs 3:34
