Pride will seriously destroy your ability to love.
You may need to repent of pride if:
- You are unwilling to reconcile.
- You are verbally aggressive.
- You are habitually angry.
- You are condescending.
- You are overly judgmental.
- You have been described as arrogant.
Your ability to love others is a great indicator of your spiritual health.
God places His Spirit in us and is yearning for us to become like Him. He laid His life down for us; loving those who are at odds with us will require the same sacrificial love.
Our relationship with God is in direct correlation with our relationship with others.
