pride is illusory – v2 #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #grace #liars #wanderers #strongmen

Pride is illusory, a lie,
a delusion, a weapon,
We believe we are strong
on our own, in ourselves,
a lie, a means to separate us,
from ourselves, from God…
 
We think we are in control,
That power is ours, innately,
that our strength is within us,
but we deny God’s presence,
His omnipotence, His power,
His hands upon our lives…
 
Every good gift comes from God,
Each of our gifts, our talents,
We stand on His grace,
the sacrifice of Jesus,
His presence here with us,
His hands on our lives…
 
We believe the lies,
The deceptions of Satan,
that we are self-made men,
This mantra, this false strength
separates us from one another,
from ourselves, from God…
