       We are insecure and the pride makes us feel secure. Our real self isn’t good enough as it stands in our eyes so we have to puff it up falsely, and this is accomplished through pride. We can love others out of our peaceful drive, and whether or not they reciprocate is not important to us. We don’t force our peace on others; if they don’t want it, we let them go. In our following of God then, in our relationship with God, people recognize our true sense of peace and see that our faith is genuine. No one questions us because we don’t have that false presentation of ourselves that is based on pride—merely looking perfect so that we can feel awesome about ourselves and for the hope that others will feel that we are awesome. If we are faking our religion, we will have to protect it when people question us. Really, though, if we are a true person of the faith, will anyone question that what we have is real? People will see that we love God, ourselves, and others, by our sheer enjoyment. This is our righteous harvest.
