My Name Is Pride

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.

Creating a Monster

What have I done? 

As a new convert to writing blogs, I find expressing myself in such a manner extremely tedious. Truth be told, expressing any feeling other than anger is quite a bother. As I'm sure there are others who are just as angry as I am, I write for those who are unable to, who have no will to and who want to..... Yes all of .....those.

Hence my intervention is at hand.

To re-open myself to a world that once slew my heart is quite a daunting undertaking. Nevertheless, I will dedicate myself to this kind of "therapy" and for what it's worth, I hope to hell it works.
