Pride

Hello...

My name is Pride. I am a cheater.

I cheat you of your God-given destiny ... because you demand your own way.

I cheat you of contentment... because you "deserve better than this."

I cheat you of knowledge...because you already know it all.

I cheat you of healing....because you are too full of me to forgive.

I cheat you of holiness.... because you refuse to admit when you are wrong.

I cheat you of vison.... because you'd rather look in the mirror than out a window.

I cheat you of genuine friendship... because nobody's going to know the real you.

I cheat you of love.... because real romance demands sacrifice .

I cheat you of greatness in heaven... because you refuse to wash another's feet on earth.

I cheat you of God's glory.... because I convince you to seek your own.

My name is Pride. I am a cheater.

You like me because you think I'm always looking out for you.
Untrue.

I'm looking to make a fool of you.
God has so much for you, I admit, but don't worry.........

If you stick with me, you'll never know.
