Pride and Prejudice

[Christsfreeservant]

In flesh, we all are filled with pride.
In flesh, the will of God denied.
In flesh, we think more than we should
Of whom we are and what is good.

In flesh, we look at others grim
When we compare them to us dim.
In flesh, we fill our minds with lies
When we our sinful hearts deny.

In Spirit we confess the truth
That in our flesh we are uncouth.
In Spirit we repent of sin
And let the Spirit dwell within.

In Spirit we on God rely,
And do His will, we not deny.
We live for Him, forsake Him not,
For by His death our lives He bought.

I love this poem. Do you have your poems in a book, or anthology? I'd be willing to buy one from you.

I have a digital copy of my poetry book that you can download, I think. See if you can get it at this link:
