The Meditation
There have probably been more good, Christian
persons ruined through a success complex than
have ever been ruined through a sense of
failure.
Success is a dangerous thing. Some people can’t
stand it.
They go through violent personality change.
Sometimes our worst enemy is the one who praises us
too much.
The real Christian test of love is our willingness
to tell a friend the truth when other are giving
Him praise.
To seek praise for the sake of praise, or to seek
place for the sake of privileges, is spiritual
self-destruction.
The most subtle form of treason is to do the right thing for the wrong reason.
