Poetry Quote by Francis Chan
““God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” For those of us who nurture a win-at-any-cost mentality, this verse should shake us to the core. Only a fool would sacrifice this much for any victory. Let this sink into your brain: God actively fights against the proud person. The pride required to win your argument and defeat your “enemy” provides you with a new opponent: God. Can””

![“[W]hen someone finds himself quite unjustly attacked and hated on all sides, there is no need for such a person to feel dismayed by misfortune. See how Fortune, who has harmed many a one, is so inconstant, for God, Who opposes all wrong deeds, raises up those in whom hope dwells.” quote by Christine de Pizan](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b71/christine-de-pizan-13257_belief_w-hen-someone-finds-himself-quite-unjust_1922312.jpg)
