Pride

This is from Beth Moore's book- Praying God's Word...link attached.

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 genuine friendship…because

nobody’s going to know the real you.

I cheat you of love…because real romance

demand’s 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.
