Confessions.

I'm not sure why I'm confessing this, perhaps it's for attention (because hey man, he's confessing all this stuff and because of that we're gonna heap compliments on him because he's humble). I tend to fish for compliments, therefore deriving my glory from man and not from Christ, who offers me Himself to be my glory and hope and reason to shine and INSTEAD I choose to rely on empty praise. 

I am: 
easily puffed up & easily insulted
quick to listen and dish out wisdom, but rarely self-apply what I learn

So just pray that my heart will change so that my own lessons hit me hard instead of me automatically thinking "this is how this applies to this or that person" without thinking about how it applies to me. Pray that I am able to throw down my pride and actually be genuine in my pursuit of Jesus and my attempts to live like him.
