The Admonitions - XVII THE HUMBLE SERVANT OF GOD

Blessed is that servant who no more exalts himself over the good the Lord says or does through him than over what He says or does through another.  (Mt 24:46)

A person sins who wished to receive more from his neighbor than what he wished to give of himself to the Lord God.
