Frequently Humble Yourself

Jack Miller writes to a discouraged missionary:

Frequently humble yourself as you did during our recent time at Entebbe. That was great! But let the team and the Ugandan Christians see you as the chief repenter, the one who is quick to renounce idols. Confess hindering sins like pride, impatience, coldness, anger, lack of tenderness, love of preeminence, self-dependence, boasting, and misuse of the tongue. Perhaps you don’t struggle with all of these nasties, but I do, and I suspect they are the sins that much afflict leaders like us…Pray for me that I would be more ready to confess and forsake publicly my own sins.
