124 Lin,

I wonder if I was told all my life I had preeminance for simply being a woman if I would want to give it up? We can all fall into these traps….but our Lord teaches us service to others, being a bondservant to Him and giving up our rights

This really hit the nail on the head, Lin. If we have been groomed for a “privileged position” would any of us give it up so easy. I would like to think that I would hold to the Truth rather than a false privilege, but maybe I could be deceived by pride too. I want to be cautious about this because I have made it a vital part of my spiritual life to love truth more than anything. But I can see how this could be very challenging to give up. We do like to feel like we are special people and privilege is certainly “special”.
