Nothing happy about pride which comes from the world not from God!
-using bible quotes from the NKJV
"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.." 1 John 2:15-17
We must love each other, yes, but we are commanded NOT TO LOVE THE WORLD! We must turn away from sin, not move towards it! As baptized Catholics we are called to holiness in living out God's Word in a fallen world who "cannot receive" The Holy Spirit. THIS IS A CALL TO HOLINESS.
Jesus says!
“If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. John 14:15-18
If we love Christ we will do what He wants, not what we want. And He does what The Father Wills always. If we truly love Christ we will love each other with that love which comes ONLY from God, NOT THE WORLD. Not Satan either, he is not capable of true love.
True love seeks holiness and purity! THERE IS NO OTHER LOVE! Everything else is pride, lust, ego, greed, and selfishness. True love, loves with The Love of God!
True love does not take pride in sin!
Love God!
