Forgiveness and Pride

The reason I struggle with forgiveness is because I struggle with pride.  On the surface I think I can appear perfect even though deep down inside I know the truth….or at least most of it.

If, for just one second, I can let go of trying to look like I have it all together, then I can forgive.  Then I can actually do what God has called me to do.

After all, Jesus could have saved his own life and condemned us all to hell, but instead he went through with dying and saved us.

There was no pride there.  Just forgiveness.

I need to practice that so much more.
