Being right.

Being first.

Being haughty.

Being prideful.

Knowledge – just knowing too much.  Tiresome.

Fearing people’s opinions.

Trying to please people.

Being anything or anyone different than God had in mind when He created you, the real you.

*Yawn…

Kill pride.  Be you.

James 4.6 The Message: “It’s common knowledge that “God goes against the willful proud; God gives grace to the willing humble.”

Jeremiah 1.5 The Message: “Before I shaped you in the womb,    I knew all about you. Before you saw the light of day,    I had holy plans for you: A prophet to the nations—    that’s what I had in mind for you.”
