Pride

Pride None have more pride than those who dream that they have none. You may labor against vainglory till you conceive that you are humble, and the fond conceit of your humility will prove to be pride in full bloom. It apes humility full well, and is then most truly pride. Pride is a sin with a thousand lives; it seems impossible to kill it, it flourishes on that which should be its poison, glorying in its shame. It is a sin with a thousand shapes; by perpetual change it escapes capture. It seems impossible to hold it; the vapory imp slips from you, only to appear in another form and mock your fruitless pursuit.
To die to pride and self one would need to die himself.God has made something of you, and now you are too respectable to look after those who are no worse than you were once. C.H. Spurgeon

We as Christians need to be careful of how we treat our fellow man. I know I have been guilty of this myself. As we grow in our faith we tend to overlook others that are not growing as fast as us. We think everyone should be at the same place in their walk with the Lord as we are. But remember, it was not that long ago that you were at that point in your life. The fact is there are others that will always be at a higher point than you in their walk but we do not judge our walk with the Lord by others. We are to look at ourselves and say, am I stronger in the faith than I was last year, am I growing in the faith every day? Putting someone else down is not the way to build them up. We are to give them the true gospel and let the Lord do his work in their lives. We are to help our fellow man walk in the ways of the Lord. Go serve your King,
