Life’s Nuggets for Living: “Love ❤️ is not prideful”

1 Cor. 13 vs. 1 – 7.

The character and nature of love ❤️ is so divine that everything done by and through love represents God at His best not that He has anything less than best.

“Love ❤️ is not prideful”. It is imperative to establish that True love doesn’t take pride in its actions as though it was accomplished without divine grace and enablement.

Pride is a man’s way of feeling superior and above those with whom you deal with. It supposes that you are better than. And therefore, informs a Disposition of arrogance that hinders the individual from seeing his or her own humanity.

True love recognizes that # What I do for you in love, is an act done through Grace and a privilege 🙏#.

It therefore, doesn’t seek its own glory or praise 🙌. When true love is at work, Christ and His Glory is the focus ✨️.

True love functions in the Spirit of Humility and Gentleness, so it doesn’t have room for boosting.

What are the Dangers of prideful Disposition in love dynamics?

• It creates a sense of superiority that impacts the way and manner in which love actions are done.
• It hinders the Joy that is mutually shared in true love dynamics.
• It opens the doors for wrong and ungodly expectations from the prideful lover.
• It weakens the foundation of true love because Christ is not the center nor His Glory the motivation.
• It opens the doors for Selfishness and all forms of ungodly attitude in love dynamics.

To overcome becoming prideful in love relationship, you must:

1. Recognize that it is a privilege and honor for anyone to open himself or herself to you in love. When people makes themselves vulnerable to you, you can’t take it for granted.
2. Recognize that you are not special and that you are not better than anyone else.
   Think of yourself within the limits of Grace given to you.
3. Avoid the feelings of importance – Meaning that you should not think that without you, people are nothing.
   Remove far from you the # God mentality #. You are not indispensable.                                                      Resolve to be an amazing Helper 👏 to someone else this year. Shalom 👏.                                               Apostle Morgan Ikonne
