I am a cheater...


My name is pride. I am a cheater.
I cheat you of your God- given destiny...bc you demand your own way.
I cheat you of contentment...bc you deserve better than this.
I cheat you of knowledge...bc you already know it all.
I cheat you of healing...bc you are too full of me to forgive.
I cheat you of holiness...bc you refuse to admit when you are wrong.
I cheat you of vision...bc you'd rather look in the mirror.
I cheat you of a friendship...bc nobody's going to know the real you.
I cheat you of love...bc real romance demands sacrifice.
I cheat you greatness in heaven...bc you refuse to wash another's feet.
I cheat you God's glory...bc I convince you to seek your own.
My name is pride. I am a cheater.
You like me bc you think I am always looking out for you.
Untrue.
I am looking to make a fool of you.
God has so much for you, I admit, but dont worry.
If you stick with me, you will never know.
