While reading John of the Cross and trying to figure out which virtue I was most in need of I couldn't choose one at first. I literally read it saying “I struggle with none of these.” I finished reading and decided to take another look at each of these: humility, simplicity, contentment, peace, moderation, joy, strength. I thought there must be something I am in need of. That’s when God smacked me in the face, and honestly I’m having a really hard time finding words to describe what happened in my heart. I realized how prideful I truly am and how much humility I really need. Even looking at the thoughts I had towards this reading I can see how prideful I am. I have never thought of myself as prideful, but I am very much so. Not really with the way I speak or the way carry myself, but definitely with the way I think. What an epiphany… Literally the way I view myself has completely changed. Wow.
