“Love is not jealous or boastful or proud.” 1 Corinthians 13:4b NLT
Jealousy and bragging flow out of our pride and wounded egos
“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” James 4:6 NLT
The antidote to pride is humility
4 WAYS WE CAN EXPRESS LOVE THROUGH HUMILITY
1. Stay teachable
“So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.” Matthew 18:4 NLT
2. Give preference to others
“Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor.” Romans 12:10 NASB
3. Admit when you’re wrong
“A man who refuses to admit his mistakes can never be successful. But if he confesses and forsakes them, he gets another chance.” Proverbs 28:13 LB
4. Keep walking with God
“He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6:8 NASB
