"And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory!" John 1:14
but it did
A backhand to the side of the head
Slapping my puffed-up pride
setting me apart
for failure
Alone but convincing myself otherwise
Self-interest has lost control
Failure came not of losing
but of hubris
and self-absorbed disappointment
Yet if properly ordered
I may return to humility
only then
Can my pride defer to love
Perfected singularly in meekness
So to serve You humbly
Poems to feed the soul.
