My friend, Lee LeFebre, says that pride is the mother of all
obstacles to grace. He originally shared
this with me when I asked him to counsel me a few years ago. 1 Peter 5:5 says, “God resists the proud but
gives grace to the humble”. NKJV
Pride is there when we believe we can handle an area
of our life. Because our Father loves
us, He is going to resist us, meaning He is not going to let this
continue. Sometimes He allows us to fail
so we will humble ourselves and admit we need help.
Husbands, do you need to admit that you need counseling
because you cannot fix your marriage?
Wives, do you need to admit that you need counseling because you are
trying to fix your husband?
Pastors, are you struggling but keeping it hidden? You can wait until your life blows up or you
can submit yourself to counseling now.
It takes humility for a Christian leader to admit he needs
help. Though I lead a large ministry and
am a counselor myself, I had to humble myself and admit I needed
counseling. I’m so glad I did. The counseling, rooted in the gospel of
grace, helped me see my own pride so that I could experience God’s liberating
grace.
