s.i.mcmillen, in his book none of these diseases, tells a story of a young woman who wanted to go to college, but her heart sank when she read the question on the application blank that asked, 'are you a leader?'
being both honest and conscientious, she wrote, 'no,' and returned the application, expecting the worst. to her surprise, she received this letter from the college:
'dear applicant: a study of the application forms reveals that this year our college will have 1452 new leaders. we are accepting you because we feel it is imperative that they have at least one follwer.'
this is from my church koinonia and it made me think alot. alot of times we refuse to deny ourselves. we're too proud to admit that we are actually not that good even if the truth is that we are not. we are jealous of those who are better than us and we refuse to submit to them when they're above us. we backstab them. we try our best to find faults in them. to show that 'see, they're not as good as me after all.'
