I'll not risk being hurt again. I'm no fool. This type of thinking actually is rooted in fear and fear is rooted in pride. It often hinders us from experiencing intimacy in the Father's love and with others. Pride is more concerned with what people think than with what God thinks.
Pride is actually a fear of man.
It is a fear of someone being able to hurt or have power over us. It cuts off the flow of intimacy. In Christian circles, pride often leads us to surrounding ourselves with religious language, duty, and activity. Intimacy then becomes something of which we feel we have no need. Then we never seem to find rest, security, or a place of comfort.
