So, who here has a pride issue? Yea, come on, don’t be prideful! I don’t know about the rest of you, but yes, I have issues with pride. I don’t like to ask for help on most things because I feel I need to demonstrate my independence. But there’s a problem with my thinking. Let me explain from beginning to end.
I always feel I need to demonstrate my independence. I feel bad when I have to ask for help in some way, shape or form. I feel I have to demonstrate it at work, with my family, and this gets me to the big one: my independence in my Christian walk. Wait, independence in my Christian walk? That doesn’t even make sense. This past week at Foundations Church, Justin talked about “Pack Mule Disease”. Yes, pack mule disease. You keep piling things on you and refuse to ask for help. That’s prideful. One of the points Justin got across was to admit you need help. We have to let go of our pride, especially when it comes to areas in our Christian walks, and ask God for help.
Remember you have a God who loves you and will help you through anything! Let go and let him help!
As always, be blessed!
Chris
