Love is... Pt 5

1 Corinthians 13:4 "...it [Love] is not proud.



We normally think of pride as word that has positive tones. This type of proud links more to an emotion that one person has towards another. However, the type of pride spoken here is linked more towards a person's feelings on them-self. Being proud means to believe that you are better than or more important than others.

How willing are you to help those that you do not feel are deserving to be in your presence or are not equal? God never called us to be better than one another, but He did call us to be our best IN HIM and better than the world. If you are going to be proud, don't be proud OF YOU but be proud of the God IN YOU. He wants to pour out of us what is inside of us, but the problem is that some of us need to be cleansed on the inside and make more room for GOD.

"Don't let your pride take up so much space that God does not have a place." - C. Holmes
