Pride often wears a disguise. Sometimes it shows up in the harsh way we respond when we feel disrespected or overlooked. Other times, it hides in the quiet belief that we must always be right or always be seen. Proverbs 11:2 reminds us, “When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.” For a lady of Godly value, true beauty is not found in sharpness of tongue or stubborn defense, but in the gentle strength that flows from humility.
I know it can feel safer to build walls with harsh words or prideful silence, especially when you’ve been hurt before. But those walls don’t protect—they isolate. Wisdom calls us to something higher. To choose humility is not to become weak; it is to allow God’s Spirit to refine your responses so that grace speaks louder than anger. That shift changes how people experience you and how they experience God through you.
Sister, your value is not proven by dominance or pride—it is revealed by your capacity to love with gentleness, even when tested. Lay aside the heavy armor of harshness and pride, and take up the light yoke of Christ. In humility, you’ll find wisdom. In gentleness, you’ll find strength. And in surrender, you’ll find freedom.
