Letting Go - 3 Pride According to the dictionary, pride is a high or excessive opinion of ones own dignity, importance, merit, or superiority. When we are severely hurt or abused, we feel inferior to others. Inferiority often ignites a quest to be better than others. Prov. 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. A wounded person is often consumed by pride in order to overcome the pain of self hatred and to mask inferiority. Prov. 11:2 When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. Pride perpetuates the cycle of bad decisions. Many prideful people succumb to temptation and make decisions to alleviate pain or appease others. Pride always leads to a fall. Prov. 29:23 A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. Click the image below to order the full series ©2014 G. Craige Works All Rights Reserved exministries
