“A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.”
― C.S. Lewis
“When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with humility comes wisdom.”
— Proverbs 11:2
Pride
elevates
us to glory.
It limits
our view
of what
God wants
in our
lives and
desensitizes
us from the
truth which
ultimately
leads to our
down fall.

Ain’t no killer like pride.
No killer like I.
No killer like what’s inside.
~Switchfoot~
Within the deepest recesses of my being, a fierce battle is fought.
I am my enemy. It is me against me.
I am the war inside. I am the war I fight.
The world forgets the heart.
But I remember…remember that this is where the combat begins.
Underneath the skin, underneath all hopes and achievements, every battle comes from the fight within.
