Do you struggle with pride? I have often said that pride is my "thorn in the flesh". I fear pride so much that sometimes I wonder if it's for a reason. Maybe God knows that I could easily fall to pride. Or it's just something that the enemy can easily use. Either way, I worry about it a lot.
So I was wondering what you think. Sometimes when I feel like I'm relying on God, in His will, trying really hard to live for Him-then I feel proud of my accomplishment. It makes me happy that even for a short time I am on the right track. But then the "fear of pride" comes running at me. So in your opinion, where is the line that divides pride and being proud of your accomplishments? Is feeling proud of yourself a sin? Is it just something the enemy likes to confuse us on? Maybe the fact that we can't do anything without Christ is the answer. Our proud accomplishments wasn't really something we did(on our own) anyway.
