Arrogance Hinders

In this world, there are many people who profess to be Born-Again Christians , but their behavior and treatment of others signifies differently.  How often have you witnessed or experienced a situation , where a self-professing Christian belittles , gossips about, or discusses their despise for another person instead of confidentially confronting them as the Bible commands?   Matthew 18:15 states, “Moreover, if your brother commits a sin against you, go and show him his fault — but privately, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won back your brother. "

Often, there will be people who bully , persecute, and stir up controversy...and then concoct scenarios where they avoid  direct , personal contact with the they hurt and offended, but will fabricate information to make it appear as if they're the victim of another's actions...rather than truthfully expose their motives and agenda to start a personal public relations campaign to promote their fabricated spirituality and fake genuineness. You may be asking yourself , "What causes a person to live hypocritically ?"  Well, usually it's foolish pride. They're too ashamed to admit their weaknesses and expose their faults, so they attempt to cover them up by trying to expose faults that truly don't exist in another person...or use someone else as a scapegoat to appear stronger than them.

Arrogance and pride—distinguishing marks in the wicked— are just plain sin. (Proverbs 21:4 MSG)

Whenever you're in a situation involving people like that, the best things to do are to pray for them  and stay on Christ's level by remaining peaceful, amicable, and a blessing towards them. 

 Nevertheless, to you who are listening, what I say is this:“Love your enemies!Do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you,pray for those who mistreat you.  -Luke 6:27-28

May your relationships be blessed with the favor and restoration of Jesus Christ, and if reconciliation is necessary in any of them...may His boldness saturate you & fill you to lovingly & peacefully talk to them. GOD bless you & keep you always ! - Erika Seaborn💗❤💗
