The Hidden Reason Why We Get Stuck

Pride can take many forms. We might not think of ourselves as prideful, but if we are in a place where we are stuck, it just might be one of the things holding us in place. A place of humility is a place of learning and growing. It's a place where our hearts are ready to receive what God has for us.
