Dependence, humility, simplicity, cooperation, and a sense of abandon are qualities greatly prized in the spiritual life, but extremely elusive for people who live in comfort.
In the quote from Philip Yancey's "The Jesus I Never Knew," he emphasizes that qualities like dependence, humility, simplicity, cooperation, and a sense of abandon are highly valued in spiritual life. These traits reflect a genuine connection with faith and a humble approach to life and spirituality.
However, Yancey notes that cultivating these qualities can be difficult for those living in comfort. Ease and material abundance may create barriers to developing the dependence and humility essential for deep spiritual growth, making these virtues more elusive for some individuals.
