“Pride rots in winter”

C. John Miller:

I have found that there is nothing like testings of the soul to drive me to Christ and break my pride.  Samuel Rutherford says, “Pride rots in winter,” indicating that we must have much need of humbling to rot away our proud self-dependence.”  In, The Heart of a Servant Leader, page 213.

Much and all as we don’t like the “cold,” thank God for “winter.” James 1:2-4.
