If only some of us would see how our stubborn pride shuns the blessings that our Father has in store for us.
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 is going to know the real you.
I cheat you of love....because real romance
demands a 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.
U-N-T-R-U-E.
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 WILL NEVER KNOW.
