My name is Pride.

"Both of you have a common weakness : She lost what she already has because of pride, she need the other person to "WORK, WORK, WORK" to satisfy her need; You didn't get what you would desire and want because of 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 a 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.

~ Beth Moore

*sigh* It is true that I am still learning to be more humble and less prideful.  Though at least is good that I am continue in learning about life.  The most important thing is communication and understanding ^^
