Folks I can’t believe it! We are halfway through our Dare!
I know it hasn’t been easy but I have no doubt that those that are really making an effort are already seeing results!
Today our task is something that is easy to say but requires much sacrifice, lots of prayer and humbleness, in simple terms, it not easy to practice!
We are going to talk about pride.
How many were the times that after an argument only two words were necessary (Forgive me) to solve the problem but you refused to say them due to your pride?
You then think to yourself “but he was also wrong! If he asks for forgiveness then I will too.”
It’s always the same story, we try to hide our faults by pointing to other’s mistakes but this will never solve the problem.
You yelled at him but think “He deserved it, he aggravated me!”
You misjudged him but think “He gave me motives.”
Do you manage to see how things are? Soo many excuses! We want to avoid sacrificing at all costs!
This diabolic pride can destroy your marriage.
Therefore, our task will be…
Dare- Task#20
“You will begin to observe yourself with regards to this pride and whenever necessary, setting all excuses aside, you will ask for forgiveness and seek to change your behavior. Or what good is it to apologize, continue to make the same mistake and ask for forgiveness again? It becomes worthless.”
Don’t fall in that trap!
Okay I will not fall in the trap.
ReplyDeleteAnd I will work hard on this dare.
It is not easy in the moment when you are angry but I know that when I have pushed the pride aside and asked for forgiveness it is well worth it and I feel good about my decision there after.
TRUE! from today on i will realy look into this cause i have realized that this (Pride)is one of my problems, it used to be bad before but now i am trying to change and will push myself to be a very good wife in this matter.

True. I have started to implement the tools that I can use to fight against proud even though sometimes is not easy. The greatest weapon that I am using is prayer of humbleness and I'm seeing the result day by day through the challenges.

This is true, sometimes it hard to ask forgiveness, but we just have to swallow the frog. Humbleness is one quality i pray to God everyday to be part of my character that i can be an excellent wife.
