Pride and humility<\/strong> are often misunderstood in today’s culture. We are constantly encouraged to put ourselves first, follow our hearts and prioritise our own happiness above everything else. While caring for ourselves is important, the Bible presents a very different picture of what it means to live well and love others.<\/p>\n

Scripture teaches that neither pride nor self-neglect reflects God’s design.
