Willard: at the center

Monday, August 26, 2013
Meditation:
Pride goes before destruction,
    a haughty spirit before a fall.
Better to be lowly in spirit and among the oppressed
    than to share plunder with the proud.
    —Proverbs 16:18-19 (NIV)
Quotation:
    ... the fundamental pride of putting oneself at the center of the universe is the hinge upon which the entire world of the ruined self turns.
    ... Dallas Willard (1935-2013), The Renovation of the Heart, Colorado Springs, Colo.: Navpress, 2002, p. 57 (see the book)
