Pride is evil, and humility is good or godly. No battle for your soul is more important. No battle for your soul has more implications. To win this battle, you will need to confront the truth. In dealing with the truth, you will need to swallow it for it to have any effect.
Truth is sometimes like medicine.
Truth can be hard to take. Of course, you can run away from the truth. You can refuse to take the truth in. You can live in a lie, tell yourself a lie or two, and run very hard in the direction of lies and denials. The truth about pride stings us.
