Today I had a conversation with a friend about this very topic … Self Pride … she hit me up saying that her “checklist” for how to love was 1 Corinthians 13 the whole thing.  Yet she realized and acknowledged that she is only human and can not meet every item in these verses 100% everyday.  At her best she thought she’s at a 65% for the year.  She admitted to struggling with verse 5:  love does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered.  So I asked God for an answer that would shed light on her struggle and this is what he gave me:

Always be mindful of your pride.  There are many times when we blame our actions on  many other things, but if we look deep beneath the surface, it is pride that is always preventing us from loving completely.  We feel we deserve certain things, that things should be done on our time or our way, etc., and things like being easily provoked, envying, being impatient, and keeping records of wrongs is due to pride.  If you take the opposite of everything in that verse it would look like this:

PRIDE is impatient, PRIDE is unkind, it DOES envy, it DOES boast, it dishonors, is self-seeking, and easily angered … etc.

So my conclusion to her was PRIDE is THE GREATEST ENEMY of LOVE because LOVE involves submitting to others and PRIDE consists of consumption of self.

I know this isn’t the typical happy post but I thought it was a profound conversation worth sharing.  It shined a light on things for both of us.  Hope it touches more people.  This is my post for Make it Over Mondays.  Happy Monday.
