We are also guilty of some spiritual pride, Quix, some more others less. The saints who are truly humble never brag even about God. Their whole being, what they do and how they act is a divine show, but such are few and far and inbetween.
Many, like me, were drawn to God by jealousy of the joy and peace of the testimonys shared/bragged by some before me.. Their gratitude could have been taken by me to be bragging or gratitude depending om MY STATE at the time.. But both states drew me(at different times) as a kind of jealousy.. I am not sad to say..
The negative attitude of mine(jealousy) opened me up like a tin can.. For the lord to draw me to himself.. The Lord is worthy to be bragged about.. You know, praised..
True enough.
But sometimes God requires us to speak up about this or that He has done in or through our lives so that someone else might learn or be encouraged.
