{ De-pride & Re-humble. Pt. 1 }

pride is not a pretty thing, and it comes in all sorts. basically anything to do with self does have a hint or maybe a tad more of pride in there if we choose to admit it. (yes, that is what denial would normally do, or any self justification)

it is really not what we can do or bring or change as nothing good can come out of our flesh, natural behavior patterns and experiences.

if we could have save ourselves, than why did it take the King of heaven to come down and do the job? so it is what He has done (at the cross), what He has brought (eternal life), and what He has transformed us into (a new creation).

James 4:10

"HUMBLE yourselves (feeling insignificant and small) before the Lord,
do not be proud but be ye meek in His sight,
getting down on your knees and bowing before your Master,
letting yourself be brought low in His presence,
and HE will and shall exalt you,
He will and shall life you up,
He will and shall help you,
He will and shall make your lives significant,
He will and shall honor you,
He will and shall make you great,
He will and shall give you a high position,
He will and shall enhance you,
and He will and shall set you on your feet once more."
