I read this on Christian Parents Forum and wanted to share. It is oh, so true! The author is Beth Moore.
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.
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.
I am so glad you liked it.
ReplyDeleteIt is true
I printed it out and I am hanging it on my fridge.
I found out who wrote this as it was posted on someone else's blog as "by Beth Moore". I wanted to make sure the author had credit. I have edited the post to reflect Beth Moore as the author.
