Pride


My Name is Pride, I am a cheater.



I cheat you on 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 your wrong.



I cheat you of vision...because you would rather look
in the mirror than out the 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 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.

That was great; thanks for posting it. I've never heard of Beth Moore, I'll have to check out some of her things.

I like the thought. Don't want to cause issues but I saw her speak live and she travels with a "christian" rock band and I wasn't too impressed with the whole experience.

Kimberly said...

Her doctrine is questionable at best.
