Faith in Providence is faith in one’s own worth, … [H]ence also false humility, religious arrogance, which, it is true, does not rely on itself, but only because it commits the care of itself to the blessed God. God … wills that I shall be blest; but that is my will also: … God’s love for me [is] nothing else than my own self-love deified.
