Letting Go of Pride

[Holy_Loved]

Pride has no conscience; and conscience has no pride.
The two won't go together, for they cannot coincide.
Like a blend of oil and water, they both refuse to mix.
What pride leaves unattended, our conscience has to fix.
While pride is great protection, by design to make us strong;
Conscience is our inner voice that tells us when we're wrong.
Which explains why "I'm Sorry" can be so difficult to say:
In conscience we can feel it; but then pride gets in the way.
It takes a wiser person to make them form a truce;
letting pride serve conscience, putting conscience then to use.

GREAT message, Holy Loved!! You are very talented!

Thank you Judy for Jesus! My sister told me that poetry is my Spiritual gift; so I am trying to share it with others. If any of my words could help another Christian or bring someone closer to Christ, it would be a gift indeed!!

Holy Loved, your sister is right. You have definitely been blessed with a Spiritual gift! I've been reading them. They aren't overly long, but concise and give a beautiful, Christain message. I so hope you'll continue sharing them because you have a very special way with words.

Excellent, Holy Loved.

The human ego is a devil, not the devil, but a devil, I'm convinced of that.
