Pride's really a it's a tough one

because I'm kind of sure that if every

one of us is honest at some point or

other we lift ourselves above someone

else we kind of compare ourselves we're

trying to figure out okay how can I be

okay I don't feel like I'm good enough

but I'm better than that person all all

of this kind of of comparison thing and

the obvious opposite of pride is is

humility so I want to lobby for a

walking in humility a walking in a way

that we're not pretending because the

best thing for me is not to pretend that

I'm better than somebody else or not as

good as somebody else but just say Okay

God created me the way that he did as

long as I'm doing my best to walk in the

way that he is leading me last night I

was with somebody a friend who had who

had earned a doctorate in an aspect of

of law the guy was already an attorney

and then he spent eight years earning a

doctorate in international law and so

I'm struggling after I met with him I'm

going shishkov what did you do uh a

little simple Bachelor degree and

nothing beyond that this this kind of

stuff it's nonsense it's it's garbage

really because if I knew that that's

what I needed to do I would have done it

I was available I I've never shut my

life down and so all I'm saying is that

walking in humility means that I I

refuse intellectual Pride I refuse

religious Pride I refuse the pride of

Personality or of place or of ministry

or achievement or family or any of the

things that I might claim because you

know what I'm no better than you are you

know better than I am and that's the

beautiful thing is that we've been

created in the image of God so that God

could really make real to us our worth

and that that worth is something that

everybody walks with
