Here is another excerpt from the teaching ministry of Beth Moore. I hope it serves you well this week. I know I need to be reminded of this truth daily:
My name is Pride. I am a cheater.
I cheat you out of your God-given destiny...because you demand your own way.
I cheat you out of contentment...because 'you deserve better than this.'
I cheat you out of knowledge...because you already know it all.
I cheat you out of healing...because you're too full of me to forgive.
I cheat you out of holiness...because you refuse to admit when you're wrong.
I cheat you out 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 always think I'm 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.
