Pride's Fear Of Failure & Refusal Often Prevents Us From Reaching Out To Love Others

The truly loving are truly humble, & the truly humble are truly loving! You've got to admit, an integral part of love is humility! It takes humility to be affectionate & to receive affection. If you want to really fall in love & accept real love, you have to be humble enough to forsake your pride & receive it! Because humility & love are totally inseparable. You cannot have love, real love, & not be humble, & you cannot have genuine humility without a lot of love! You cannot be proud & have real love!--And you cannot have real love & be proud! Real love has to be very humble!

This is true even of our relationship with the Lord! Once we have learned that God really loves us & Jesus died for us & that He cares for us, we have to yield & humble ourselves to receive the Lord's Love. It's a humbling thing!

But there's perfect rest in humility, because humility has love & faith without fear. (1Jn.4:18) Love doesn't care what other people think, it just loves in spite of what they think! So be humble!--And Love! (1Pet.4:8)
