Deutero Q

"It can be recognized that one compares himself to others when he thinks he is an eminent saint in comparison. This is the secret language of such a heart: 'God, I thank You that I am not as other men' (Luke 18:11). But he whose heart is subject to Christian humility has a very different attitude. For humility, or true lowliness of mind, causes people to think others better than themselves (Phil. 2:3). This is how Moses and Jeremiah viewed themselves, although they were eminent saints and had great knowledge. Humble people do not naturally think they are qualified to teach, but feel the need to be taught; they are much more eager to hear and to receive instructions than to dictate to others: They are not likely to assume authority, but subject themselves to others."
