LOVE

If I learn to love well, I won't brag about my actions. I won't be seeking my own. I will not be jealous. My actions will be done in kindness. I will not be easily provoked, and I will not be arrogant. It's important to note that these are all the effects of love. Love is selfless in its very nature. When I am being selfless, there is no room for pride.

Focusing inward without love can actually lead to selfishness. Focusing outwardly in love will lead to selflessness, and a genuine, passionate humility will be the byproduct. A humble heart will be a byproduct of following the two great commandments: loving God first, and loving others second (Matt 22:37-39).

God's very nature is love.
