lOVE IS NOT PROUD... 1 Corinthians 13:4
When I want to show my love to the God of the universe what do I do?
I would surely not come to Him with a prideful heart; that would be like putting a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door of my heart. You can come this far, but no further. Pride would make me inaccessible, and puts me in charge of my life. The distance between us is now something I have orchestrated not Him.
Pride keeps me from experiencing an intimate relationship because I have all the answers. The result puts me in a place where Jesus not only can't teach me, but He is not able to reach me as well.
Self becomes the God of the proud and the fear of not being in control keeps me there.

Very well put. It is ok to be prideful...But when you put yourself before God the best thing to do is be humbled by Him. So many people forget that. If the world would just let Him take us to where ever it is we are supposed to go, maybe the world would be a much nicer place to be in. He is the only one that will never lead you astray.
