-
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
