“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 b/c you already know it all. I cheat you of healing b/c you’re too full of me to forgive. I cheat you of holiness b/c you refuse to admit when you’re wrong. I cheat you of genuine friendship b/c no one is going to know the real you. I cheat you of real love b/c real romance demands sacrifice. I cheat you of greatness of heaven b/c you refuse to wash others feet on earth. I cheat you of God’s glory b/c I convince you to seek your own.
My name is pride. I am a cheater. You like me b/c 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.”
