Quick Study "Pride"

It is good to take pride in things, such as your family. But sometimes pride can get out of control. Sometimes we become too proud; we think we are better than others. Most people who have issues with pride walk through life with a low self esteem. When you have the joy of the Lord in your life, you have no need to have a low self esteem. Pride can cause you to become very selfish, thinking only about yourself and your needs. The Father wants us to put others before ourselves. So take pride in your accomplishments, but don't let it go to your head. Take pride in what the Lord has given you, but don't flaunt it to your friends. God wants you to be proud of who you are; He doesn't want it to take control of your life.
