THIS CAN MAKE YOU LOOSE EVERYTHING

Today, I'd like to talk about something that can sneak up on us and steal everything we hold dear—pride!

Pride is like a thief in the night; it can creep in unnoticed and rob us of our relationships, our joy, and even our connection with God. And the scary thing is, we often don't even realize it's happening until it's too late.

But here's the thing: pride is anti-God. When we let pride take the wheel, we're essentially saying that we know better than God, that we can handle things on our own without His help. And that's just not true. God is the one who gives us life, who gives us breath, and who gives us purpose. When we let pride in, we're pushing Him out.

So, what does pride look like in our lives? It can look like an inflated sense of self-importance, a need to always be right, or a refusal to listen to others. It can also look like competition, comparison, and criticism. And if we're not careful, pride can lead to damaged relationships, missed opportunities, and even lost dreams.

But there's hope! We can overcome pride by recognizing the signs in our lives, humbling ourselves, and asking for help. We can choose to listen to others, to learn from their perspectives, and to walk in kindness and empathy. And most importantly, we can choose to surrender our pride to God, and let Him be the one to guide us.

So, let's kick pride to the curb and build stronger, more loving relationships - with God and with each other!

I believe in you!
