The Wrecking Ball of Pride
“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” (Proverbs 16:18) There is good pride like when one puts forth their best effort to do an excellent job, or when a parent is proud of their child for displaying outstanding character in pressure filled situations.
