"PRIDE

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're

too full of me to forgive.

I cheat you of holiness...because you refuse to

admit when you're wrong.

I cheat you of vision...because you'd rather look

in the mirror than out a window.

I cheat you of a 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."

††here's something my mom gave to me a while back.
I didn't make it up. but it's brilliant

††moral of the story?? don't let pride rule your life...
or else you'll miss a lot of things.
