The reason we cannot fully know what love is without knowing its Creator is because it does indeed come in many different forms, and so it must be understood from the heart of love itself. From the very character of God. Because love is this way, pride is much the same. We could not rightly recognize pride, though perhaps in one example, without knowing its origins as well. And the reason is much the same. Love grows without us realizing it because when we are faithful and obedient consistently, we will one day look back and realize it was growing all along, though so slowly, seeming like nothing was happening. Pride however, purposefully grows unnoticed, because we do not want to see it. Pride does not always portray itself as such, which I would argue is the most devastating kind. And the reason for this is that its origins come straight from the father of lies himself. And he does not show himself as such, but disguises himself as an angel of light. If his very character is to disguise himself as light, why would pride prance around as what it truly is? No, its quieter. More sinister, and more times than not, is disguised also as light and good. 

Today we talk all about what pride actually is, how to see it in our lives, how we've gotten there, and how to face it head on. The only way to walk free from pride is through the antidote of humility, but we must rightly understand how to do that-- and that's going to come through the example of Jesus Christ, Humility Himself.

I hope you enjoy today's episode-- if it steps on your toes, it stepped on mine too! And remember, though we talk on hard topics this week, grace covers all, and the only purpose in talking on these is for people to realize they are truly free and He is truly good and trustworthy. Have a great week, friends! See you next week on the Saltworks with another amazing guest!
