Pride!

My name is Pride. I am a cheater. – by Beth Moore (Praying God’s word)

 

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 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 your 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.
