Pride

PRIDE.

 A characteristic definetly worth our time and attention.

There are moments when we feel proud of others

 or a job well done.

There are also times when we seek others to be proud of us

and the work we do.

I guess "GLORY SEEKERS" 

would be an adequate term.

I am not preaching to the choir,

I am a part of this choir.

I remember sitting in Gospel Doctrine Class.

The instructor shared President Ezra Taft Benson's talk on PRIDE.

As I listened and pondered upon the words of a Prophet,

my mind began,

"Oh if only so and so were here to hear this."

"That is exactly the message she needs in her life ."

"See...I knew it. This is what I have been trying to tell him all along !"

After I had pretty much labeled every description of PRIDE

with someone else's name,
 came the bitter sting of being compelled to be humble.
Paraphrased,

"There are those, that even upon hearing these words 

are saying to themselves, 

'So and so is the one that needs to be sitting right here

 and hearing this lesson on PRIDE,

(There I am shaking my head in agreement)

You are the very ones this talk is for.

Your PRIDE is so blatant and bold that it has skewed

your vision to only see outside of yourself

rather than looking within. ' "

Did someone just throw a brick at me ?

(RP) suggested something to inquire...

Am I sinning in ignorance?
