Mind of a Christian

Pride

I have a lot of pride in me. There are times where I am happy because Mind of a Christian has over a thousand reads. There are times when I feel more righteous than others. I recently got into a fight with someone I love. I felt that I was the one who was wronged. I felt that they should beg for my forgiveness, but in reality, I should have been the one to forgive me.

God acts swiftly. He knew that I was hiding from being accountable. I tried to justify my pride. Yet, He made me face the truth. I am prideful. And so I begged for forgiveness, from Him and the one I love.

But by His grace and infinite mercy, He has forgiven me. After my prayer, I received a message from her saying that she's forgiven me.

I am ashamed of how I have gloated in my pride. But God is good and He reminded me of who I am. I do not deserve praise and glory. I have yearned for it in the past, and I'm afraid that I will do it again in the future. But I know that God will bring me down again and I will be glad. God deserves all praise and glory.

Here is a memory verse for my Bible study tonight.

Colossians 3:12-13
So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience;
bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Truly, I must put on a heart of humility, but also of compassion, kindness, gentleness, and patience. I must submit and know that I am but a servant, and that Jesus is the Almighty God who is the way and the truth and the life.

I hope that I may continue in humility and hate pride and return quickly to God shall it grow again.

All glory and honor and praise be to God!
