PRIDE

This morning i study a interesting topic pride. i read a speak give by Ezra Taft Benson an modern day prophet of God, called beware of pride. It was very moving and pierce to the very soul.  It tell us that pride is an invisible to us and universal sin. Those how have it have a hard time seeing that they have it. Also pride is connected to self-esteem, to a way to try to rise us above anyone. The important thing is we all are children of God. In his eye on living soul and more then another. their on ranks or levels in eyes just us trying to become like him. one my favorite parts is "The proud depend upon the world to tell them whether they have value or not. Their self-esteem is determined by where they are judged to be on the ladders of worldly success. They feel worthwhile as individuals if the numbers beneath them in achievement, talent, beauty, or intellect are large enough. Pride is ugly. It says, “If you succeed, I am a failure.”", and "Pride fades our feelings of sonship to God and brotherhood to man. It separates and divides us by “ranks,” according to our “riches” and our “chances for learning.” (3 Ne. 6:12.) Unity is impossible for a proud people, and unless we are one we are not the Lord’s. (See Mosiah 18:21; D&C 38:27; D&C 105:2–4; Moses 7:18.)". So this morning a was truly humble before lord and repented my proud, pride full, and judging my self and others.  I know that God truly loves all of us. even we don't accept it he still is here. He will always be there.
