Pride centers on SELF, the super-EGO; Through its lack of humility, The proud cannot see GOD’s glory, Being centered on self-glory!
Pride is one-dimensional, Only I, ME, MYSELF, Pride robs one’s soul of the continuous flow Of LIVING WATER, GOD’s compassionate grace Flowing through our REDEEMER, CHRIST; Pride is a stagnant pool, with no outlet Of compassion for others; Lacking humility, Pride cannot acknowledge its own sinfulness, Pride restrains GOD’s hand of mercy By its conviction of self-sufficiency; For the proud, Christ has died in vain.
Pride meanders through life As a sluggish river of pent-up Thwarted ambitions, frustrations, anxieties The neuroses of mankind. Pride robs one of true CONTENTMENT, Of GOD’s PEACE, that surpasses all understanding.
Pride wants its own way, its will Not GOD’s way or GOD’s will Pride robs one of true generosity It cannot magnanimously put others before self.
Pride caused the downfall of SATAN Mankind is admonished not to fall Into its temptation; PRIDE can rob man of ETERNAL SALVATION.
