To be wrong
oh how I long
to be right
so I will put up a fight.
but why do I fight
why?
why do I torture myself with
this myth
that pride is good
and that I should
only look out for number one ... me?
the longer I fight
the longer it hurts
it hurts to be wrong...
But wait..
what is my fate?
is it to late
to be forgiven?
No
and in forgiveness lies hope
and hope gives peace
yes I said peace
not war, not in this heart
I will have no part
because I have found
the sound
of RIGHT
It is right to forgive
it is right to confess
and the wrong will feel right again
and be blessed.
So to be wrong is okay
I do say
I say yes it is because
forgivenss is beautiful
and peace comes after.
-poem, interpretation of guilt and pride finding its way. by Jamie Cook
Pride is hard to overcome. It keeps up a perception of how things are 'suppose' to be. We may realize a need to reconcile a broken relationship (such as with Christ), but pride can lead us to deny that need. And it's a nice things there is always hope and forgiveness offered by the Lord.
