Pondering A Quote

Ken Blanchard and Norman Vincent Peale said in "The Power of Ethical Management" that

People with humility don't think less of themselves, they just think of themselves less



So with that said, how can we be humble? Humility doesn't mean we don't take PRIDE in ourselves, it means we aren't PRIDEFUL. God wants us to be PROUD of ourselves. He is PROUD of us, He created us. That does not mean that we are PRIDEFUL.



When we are PRIDEFUL we think that we are better than others. It could mean that we think we deserve the promotion at work more than the other person, or any number of different things. What I want you to see is that taking PRIDE in yourself should not diminish others, it should inspire others!

This week take time to think about where the line is in your life between being PROUD and being PRIDEFUL. Remember, God loves us and even says to love your neighbor as yourself (implying that we should love ourselves) Lets not think less of ourselves... lets just think of ourselves... less! :)

Hope this give you something to chew on! :)
