Marriage small group

its not about me.
the less you are in the Word, the less you know. it brings a reality check.

self pity is pride also. bc at the center of your pity, is you.

with pride comes shame, hard heart, destruction, God will resist you.

if you want to be used by God, humility is the key.

"God, please give me Your grace to get over myself."

Remind yourself how God sees pride. Meditate how pride is affecting your life. Hate and detest pride. Keep the Bible open. Keep the Scriptures in front of your eyes.

One thing you can do to fight pride is deny your flesh. Don't do what your flesh desires.
You can humble yourself in fasting. Spend more time with God, bc you will become more like the ones you spend time with.

After asking the Lord for help in getting to work on time, I arrived safely, and with a minute to spare :) Praise God!

We were made different for the following reason: 1 Cor 12:25 Gen 2:24, Mat 19:3-8, Mark 10:2, Eph 5:25-27, 1 Cor 6:15-17 : The use of one flesh has been used five times. When man and female come together the union is part of the image of God... As the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one. How do you become one... Let's consider how we became one spirit with the Lord...we had to die. Die to self. It is similar with our spouse...we have to die to self. Often times we focus on being right...but we should focus on being right with our spouse.  The key to a successful Christian life? You must die to yourself. The key to a successful marriage? Yo...
