The Blessing Of Insecurity

Pride comes; before the fall; it’s said;
words of wisdom and maturity;
pride lives inside; until we are dead;
there are blessings in insecurity.

Each of us has gifts; to make us succeed;
making us arrogant and proud;
our talents supply far more than we need;
and more than God allowed.

Along with love, wisdom, and maturity;
God sought to defeat arrogance and pride;
planting, within us, a thorn of insecurity;
it remains within some; till we’ve died.

There’s but one reason; we have to be proud;
it is because we belong to the Master;
when we are boastful; and brag outloud;
we tend to court disaster.

All are impressed with one who’s precocious;
ahead of their class; as a child;
when we grow up; and become braggadocious;
our arrogance makes us reviled.

We all are created from the Master’s being;
you might say; a part of His DNA;
in those, more wise; pride is kept unseen;
God has little respect for our MBA.

Most of us just lust for an elevated title;
crowns were meant for God, alone;
only a fool, covets becoming God’s rival;
the meek just long to go home.
