PRIDE AND FALLS


Dear One,
When a political party becomes a basis of pride, then a spirit of pride has entered in.
When a person's country becomes a basis for pride, then a spirit of pride has entered in.
When a person's race becomes a basis for pride, then a spirit of pride has entered in.
When a person's sexual orientation becomes a basis for pride, then a spirit of pride has entered in.
When a person's sport's team becomes a basis for pride, then a spirit of pride has entered in.
When a person's denomination becomes a basis for pride, then a spirit of pride has entered in.
When a person's religion becomes a basis for pride, then a spirit of pride has entered in.
Extreme pride always puts others in an inferior position to himself. Pride elevates a person above another person or a group of people.
Do not take pride in any of your affiliations or associations.
Remember that pride goes before a fall. Every political party, denomination, race, religion, sexual orientation or country will fail you at some time, and then you will feel that you are a failure if your pride is in that group.
Equality in your estimation of yourself and every man is the thought process and attitude I want you to have.
When you know that you are My child, that I love you and that I love every person in the earth, then you are humbled, not prideful.
Pride is not a substitute for confidence They are not the same. Confidence is knowing that you are valued, but not above other people. See the difference?
Love, God
Psalm 10:2; Psalm 73:6-10; Proverbs 11:2 &3; Proverbs 13:10; Proverbs 16:18; Mark 7:22&23; I John 2:16
