PRIDE

My name is Pride. I am a cheater.

i cheat you out of your God-given destiny....

because you demand your own way.

i cheat you out of contentment.....

because you "deserve better than this."

i cheat you out of knowledge......because you already know it all.

i cheat you out of healing.....because you're too full of me to forgive.

i cheat you out of holiness.....

because you refuse to admit when you are wrong.

i cheat you out of vision.....

because you'd rather look in the mirror than out the window.

i cheat you out of genuine friendship.....

because no one is going to know the real you.

i cheat you out of love.....

because romance demands sacrafice.

i cheat you out of greatness in heaven.......

because you refuse to wash another's feet on earth.

i cheat you out 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 am always looking out for you.

not true.

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 will NEVER know.
