My name is Pride. I'm a cheater.
I cheat you out of your God-given destiny,
since you exact your own way for yourself.
I cheat you out of your satisfaction
because you say to yourself, "That's why I deserve better".
I cheat you out of your knowledge,
because you think you already know everything.
I cheat you out of your healing, your sanctity,
because you are fed up with permanent forgiving,
and you are not willing to admit it when you make a mistake.
I cheat you out of your sight, because you'd rather looking at yourself in the mirror,
instead of looking out the window.
I cheat you out of true friendship,
because your true self cannot be seen by anyone.
I cheat you out of your love,
because true love demands sacrifice.
I cheat you out of your heaven
because you are not willing to wash the feet of others on Earth.
I cheat you out of the glory of God,
since I persuaded you to rush your own glory.
My name is Pride. I'm a cheater.
You like me, because you think I'm just for you.
Not true! My only goal is to fool you.
God holds so much for you - I see that - but do not worry,
If you insist on me, you never know!
