Pride & Gratefulness

Pride: (unduly) high opinion of oneself; arrogance

Arguably the worst of the classical 7 deadly sins, the hubris of mankind has always been boundless. Mankind (or at least, ME) prides itself on being autonomous, self-created and freestanding. The result? A world with no need of God and no sense of gratitude. This, is probably my greatest fault.

Grace: Theology.
a.the freely given, unmerited favor and love of God.
b.the influence or spirit of God operating in humans to regenerate or strengthen them.
c.a virtue or excellence of divine origin: the Christian graces.
d.Also called state of grace. the condition of being in God's favor or one of the elect.

"You have given so much to me. Give me one thing more - a grateful heart." - George Herbert

I seriously need to learn from this guy.
