My Name Is Pride
March 2014
"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 wisdom because you already know it all. I cheat you of healing because you are too full of you to forgive. I cheat you of humility because you refuse to admit when you are 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 depends on sacrifice. I cheat you of greatness because you refuse to wash another’s feet on earth. I cheat you of God’s glory because I convinced 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." ~BM
