COT: “The proud person always wants to do the great thing. But because he wants to do it in his own strength, he is fighting not with man, but with God.” Kierkegaard

Pride and Self-Reliance leads to disaster, not trusting God. The irony is when we accept absolute dependence on God, then we find the strength.

Shame and Fear keep us paralyzed or stagnant doing nothing, but they stem from the same lack of trust and dependence on God.

Self-will leads to failure.
Shame keeps us stuck.
But reliance on the Holy Spirit transforms us into who we were meant to be.
When we walk in the Spirit, God enables us to go higher, endure more, and accomplish what we never could in our own strength. This is exactly how Jesus lived, how much more do we need to?
