I just had to post this on here today ~ It speaks volumes and in many ways it reminds me of me at times -especially my old self. God took me ~ from me.
My Name is Pride...
Taken from Beth Moore's Living Free
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 holiness...because you refuse to admit when you are 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 ever 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.

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!
Psalm 16:18
Pride goeth before destruction and an haughty spirit before a fall.
