always worried about
"what will men think of me"
rather than
"what will God think of me."
Always worried about gaining
praise from men rather than God.
I always find time for fault-finding,
gossiping, complaining, living beyond
my means, envying, coveting, unforgiving,
jealouse, withholding gratitude and praise
that could have lifted another.
My prideful heart is filled with
contention and offense
as others strive to correct me.
I put other less important things before
I put God.
I often think that my life is harder and
more stressful than susie Q.
Then I realized I am blind.
Stripping my pride has been
the hardest accomplishment.
Yet, I still stive to work on it
and am never 'fixed'.
I have come to realize that
If we love God, do His will,
and fear His judgements more
than men's, we will have
self-esteem.
Frequent temple attendance stripes
pride.
Putting God first and formost, above
anyone or anything.
Rembering to think of others first.
