Pride

"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'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.
God has so much for you, I admit.But don't worry...
If you stick with me, you'll never know."

Like the post! And I see you got the linkwithin working-- isn't that so easy? It was kind of hard to believe after working in all the tough formatting stuff!
