Self-importance


Proverbs 16:18 New Living Translation (NLT) 18 Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall. Self-importance ... self-conceit Where does that stuff come from? Does it originate in darkness Does that evoke that attitude? It must be based on pride which hungers in our longing Now we blame that old serpent, who destroys our fortitude. Jan Wienen
