I developed strong pride and is unaware of it until my best friend tells me "stop being prideful...."(forgetten the later part of the sentence).that was when i'm in secondary 3. i guess all along,i'm being mislead by my emotions that being prideful means being stronger. and to explain why i develop such a strong pride, i could only think of that reason, that incident. To date, my pride level is still the same,well,maybe a bit lesser than previous,but does that makes a difference? definately no.there's still pride in me,no matter if it's abit lesser or abit more.
Pride,Pride,Pride. It's just a word simply make up of 5 letters, but it can kills one spiritual life if it's not well taken care of.
Pride is undesired, a barrier to christian's walk.
Leviticus 26:18-20
18 " 'If after all this you will not listen to me, I will punish you for your sins seven times over.
19 I will break down your stubborn pride and make the sky above you like iron and the ground beneath you like bronze.
20 Your strength will be spent in vain, because your soil will not yield its crops, nor will the trees of the land yield their fruit.
Yeah.God opposes the proud and give grace to the humble.James 4:10
10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
Look, there aint any reason why i should'nt humble myself right? but well, it takes time and i hope it would'nt take long.
