Warranted Pride
Warranted Pride (1)
We sport garments of pride we feel self-righteous wearing,
some lust for, some claim to deserve (by their action)!
Who orchestrates merit by clothes worn outside?
Should we advertise self (Gosh! How daring):
bless giants with shoulders to stand on,
the Vision that height can provide?
In God’s leading, try end run,
your judgment relinquish
of others. Soul’s win
is Christ’s apron,
to vanquish
real sin.

Poet’s Notes:
(1) Perhaps all pride is unwarranted in the end, even our pride that
Christ died on the cross for our sin, the Apostle Paul, notwithstanding!
Join me in trusting in Grace, even if God does not exist. This is the
God we should all hope is real (is the true God), whatever is true! But
I believe (in my faith as a Christian) that God’s Grace gets extended to
all, that all sin is equal in God’s sight! There is no magic chant we can
utter, no physical course of action that can save! Grace is everything!
Hello! (Again!)
Whatever you may believe, you are my brother, my sister in Christ’s
redeeming blood! If your heart seeks the truth, then the kingdom of
heaven is already yours. If not, then consider the possibility that
perhaps what you think of now as unacceptable pain may genuinely
be a hell of your own making.
