The Children of Pride

   Oh that My Children would turn away from pride! Where is your understanding, My Children? Do you not know that as Children of Pride, you are the Children of My Enemy? Do you not see that your pride is setting you up for a fall?

   My enemy constantly tempts My People with pride and many are still receiving his temptation and becoming prideful. They do not see the darkness in their own hearts, or the misery I will lead them in to for it.

   All is not lost! I will refine you, My Children, but alas, you will not enjoy this process. You will cry out to Me for relief, yet none will be granted. Your lofty opinions and attitudes must fall, that I, the King of Kings, may reign in your hearts and minds.

   I will resist you and refine you until you are truly Mine.
