our strongest weakness

““A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.” – CS Lewis

It is said that pride comes before the fall

so we sit there on the edge,

condemning the very thought of it,

and practicing it instead.

So scared that if we make a fall,

we might be called a fool,

we shun the truth of humility

and make foolish pride our rule.

It seems to be our strongest weakness:

our lives a masquerade,

hiding behind a mask of pride

from the Sacrifice Christ made.
