Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood. —Rev. 1:5.
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it. Love is strong as death. —Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. —In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.
Ye are washed, . . . ye are sanctified, . . . ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. —Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. —I beseech you . . . brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Song 8:7,6. -John 15:13. I Pet. 2:24. -Eph. 1:7. I Cor. 6:11. -I Pet. 2:9. -Rom. 12:1.

Pride: I Repented
The fruit of pride is heavy and abundant and bitter.
And pride itself is sneaky and deceptive and often well camouflaged.
I know.
Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. —1 Peter 5:6.
Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand. Be not wroth very sore, O Lord, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see we beseech thee, we are all thy people. —Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the Lord my God. Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth. —It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
Affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
Prov. 16:5. Isa. 64:8,9. -Jer. 31:18,19. -Lam. 3:27. Job 5:6,7.
Egotism, self-promotion, pride — repent of it lest it consume you and your potential and your dreams!
