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 od 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.
