I had a request to post this poem, so here it is--
My Name is 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 (pride) to forgive.
I cheat you of holiness . . . because you refuse to admit when you are wrong.
I cheat you of vision . . . because you'd rather look in a 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.
