Proverbs 18:12
Before its downfall, the heart is wrapped in pride;
while humility goes before honour.
---- Mine,
Pride is the mark of Lucifer and his minions. Pride has been the downfall of many who considered themselves and their needs before that of others. Where there is genuine love there is no place for pride and self-indulgence. True love puts the beloved before self always. Humility is a sign of the presence of God in a soul. To realize one's nothingness before God is to understand that one is wholly and solely dependent on the goodness, mercy, and generosity of God. All that you are and all that you have come from the hands of a beneficent and gracious God. Always be grateful. A grateful, humble, obedient heart will keep you firmly rooted in God and will enable you to grow in grace and virtue.
