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
Sounds like a familiar story… we all deal with pride despite our best efforts but God is always gracious to guide🙌
