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 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.

Taken from Beth Moore Praying God's Word,

Lol

"Untrue. I'm looking to make a fool of you."

How true this is.

Once some years ago, I was at a church service. And a lady was sobbing on the floor forgive me forgive me and she was laying down on her side. The Lord spoke to me and told me to lay down next to her on the floor and tell her that she was forgiven. I said to the Lord I'm going to look like a fool laying down there ( lol ). The Lord said to me "so look like a fool and get on the floor" and i did.
