WORDS TO REMEMBER

Quote by Ezra Taft Benson

Ezra Taft Benson

“Pride is essentially competitive in nature. We pit our will against God’s. When we direct our pride toward God, it is in the spirit of ‘my will and not thine be done.’ As Paul said, they ‘seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s’.”
