First Step to Overcoming Pride-6 Top Bible Verses

What is it, you ask?

And what is beautiful about it?

It’s a patch of asphalt…

But not just any patch of asphalt…

It’s my driveway…

My driveway shoveled clean after a snow storm!

I am proud of my work…

I stand admiring it!

Until I look beyond this tiny patch of asphalt…

Beyond this spot bounded by my pride…

And take in what God has done…

Marvel at the true beauty he has created…
