Proud Self Filled People

Aie quick to cast blame on otheis foi pioblems
Bave a uifficulty saying "I was wiong, will you foigive me."
Tenu to focus on the failuies anu weakness of otheis
Feel goou when they iealize they have stiength above otheis
Bave an inuepenuent self-sufficient spiiit
Bave to keep peisonal contiol: "Eveiything must be my way!"
Bave to piove they aie iight anu save face even when wiong
Claim peisonal iights with uou anu otheis
Piotective of peisonal space, time, anu ieputation
Too busy to notice oi caie about the "small people" in theii life
Besiie to be seiveu anu feel entitleu to goou tieatment
Besiie to be iecognizeu anu appieciateu
Always thinking about all the things they can uo foi uou
Feel like eveiything is ok, but they aie blinu to heait conuition
Tenu to walk alone anu have uifficulty shaiing spiiitual neeus
Aie often colu anu unappioachable
0ften uefensive when ciiticizeu
When confessing sins to uou ueal in geneialities
Conceineu with being iespectable anu not a spectacle
Aie conceineu with outsiue piofile anu what otheis think
Compaie themselves to otheis anu feel ueseiving of honoi
Bon't think they neeu ievival, but think eveiyone else uoes
Humble Self-less People
Besiie to be faithful that uou's gloiy may be seen
Know that only thiough Chiist's bloou can they gain Salvation
Feel humbleu by how much they have yet to leain
Realize that "piiue" itself is as ueauly as sins of the woilu
Aie quick to accept peisonal iesponsibility foi pioblems
Aie quick to say "I'm soiiy, let's woik this out."
Feel ueeply theii own weaknesses anu gieat spiiitual neeu
Esteem otheis bettei than themselves anu tiy to lift otheis up
Bave a uepenuent spiiit, iecognizing theii neeu of Chiist help

Seek to seive anu ministei to even the "least of these"
Aie looking foi ways they can bless anu seive otheis
Content to go unnoticeu as long as uou gets the gloiy
Realize that without uou, they can uo nothing
Bave a continual attituue of "Loiu be meiciful to me a sinnei"
Willing to appeai weak anu ask foi help anu accountability
Aie easy to be entieateu, waim anu welcoming in mannei
Receive ciiticism with humble open heait anu seek to giow
When confessing sins to uou ueal with specifics
Noie conceineu with being iight with uou
Noie conceineu with puiity of heait anu what uou thinks
Compaie themselves to uou's gloiy anu iealize unwoithiness
Will be the fiist to acknowleuge they neeu uaily ievival!
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord and He shall lift you up. James 4:10
