M'Cheyne's Battle and Mine

Amazing. Here I am wrestling with my own pride as I am reading excerpts from the memoirs of Robert Murray C'Cheyne. I happen across this entry:

"Oh for true, unfeigned humility! I know I have cause to be humble; and yet I do not know one-half of that cause. I know I am proud; and yet I do not know the half of that pride."

M'Cheyne wrote those words in his journal 178 years and one day ago on Sept. 9, 1832. How truly comforting is it to see that I am in the company of other broken vessels who have gone before me! Christ was the salve for M'Cheyne. How He has become my Healer also!
