​Deathly Pride | Intimacy With Christ | Richard Wafford

​Proverbs 16:18, “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”
 
You were raised to have what you need and to get what you want; you have been groomed to satisfy yourself! No one else will be going too. But that is the problem in our walk with Christ: everything in life is not about us; it is all about Him. Life will be so much richer and fuller when you figure this out.

You have nothing; God provided everything you have on loan from Him. All things you have come from God, all things come through God, and all your things will return to Him. Out of the kindness and generosity of God’s love, everything you have is for you to enjoy.

Pride is unstoppable; therefore, you need to guard yourself against it and always be on the lookout for it. Pride alone will stop your love, joy, and peace in their tracks.  ~ Richard
