Pride and Mental Health

Dying to Pride:

ANO ANG PINAGYAYABANG MO?

Your many possessions?

Your large bank accounts, money?

Your big houses?

Your expensive cars?

Your super talents?

Your power, position, title?

Your physical beauty?

Your sexy/muscular body?

Your multiple travels and visas?

Your global fame?

Your wide social network?

Your beautiful family?

Your profitable business?

Your work/career/profession?

You leave all of these behind.

God humbles you.

You are finite. Mortal.

Death and illness is your doorway to humility.

Do you have a true relationship with Him?

Life is beyond your temporary existence on earth.

“Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.” (John 12:24-26)

“Pride goes before destruction.” (Proverbs 16:8)

“God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” (James 4:6)

“When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” (Proverbs 11:2)

“Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, ‘If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.’ As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil.” (James 4:14-16)

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)
