Finding One’s Identity

“Scripture reading enables [man] to see life, not alone from the human point of view, but in some degree from God’s.

This perspective fills two of man’s important needs—a sense of individual worth and a feeling of self-subordination. Either of these are achievable alone. But how easy it is for a sense of personal worth to turn to an intolerable egoism and self-conceit—or a sense of self-subordination—to turn into a false humility or morbid self-depreciation."
