Forgiveness Is For YOU - Overcome Trauma Through Forgiveness

S1E16 You First! 5 Steps to Overcome Pride in Forgiveness


Listen Later

In today's episode, I define pride in the context of forgiveness. Pride is like two sides of a coin, heads or tails, virtue or vice. 

If pride stops at the pleasure or satisfaction we experience for an accomplishment that required great sacrifice, or a level of intimacy we achieved in a relationship, or recognition for a job well done, but doesn’t become the measure by which we measure others, then pride is a virtue.

From a Judeo-Christian perspective, pride is considered a capital sin, a sin that “begets” or gives rise to other sins. Pride is not OK because it blocks the graces God wants to bestow on us to live in the truth of our experience and the gift of freedom from bondage to the offender. We cannot change what happened to us, but we can change our disposition toward what happened and toward God, the offender, and the people in our lives. We can choose to show up as a victor or victim. If we choose to indulge in prideful thoughts and actions, we are more likely to show up as a victim.
