For those who love Biblical petry: The “I” of Pride In pure and holy Heaven, where all angels did abide, the first covering cherub took a place at God’s own side. Then came pride. This angel, Lucifer, instead of taking things in stride wanted Christ’s position, His privileges he eyed. So he lied. He told the other angels with whom he did confide that Heaven was a galling yoke from which to be untied. A third of them agreed and thus defied. All the fallen angels received from God a “chide,” because of hellishness, were granted their desired ride … to a place where “Self” could be glorified. In the earthly Garden of Eden, lived Adam with his bride. At the only forbidden tree, they would their fate decide. Here, Eve was mystified. Lucifer-turned-Satan, disguised as a serpent-guide, spoke, but was so stunning that Eve was not terrified. Again, he lied. He charmingly convinced her that they were being denied. Forbidden fruit was tempting, appealing to human pride. Believing God had lied, the fruit Eve tried. Adam followed suit, not wanting to lose his bride. Their sin was disobedience. Trust was pushed aside. The Father’s heart cried. Along with the knowledge of good, came evil “clarified.” Knowing they were disrobed, they sought a place to hide. For rebellion, Garden access was denied. The first sign of their sin was when the first leaf died. Not seeing death before, the man was horrified. Now the results of sin are seen far and wide. A heavenly plan was ready, should humans slip and slide. God arranged for the human race to be fully justified. So, Jesus came to earth and was crucified. If we trust God’s Son, to our lives His blood applied, though it seems that Satan won, and good & evil collide, Christ is our Savior and our Guide. In pure and holy Heaven where His followers will abide, there’s no death or sorrow, all tears will there be dried. Life … purified. Though we wish to go there soon, with Jesus, unified, we must surrender Self. He is coming for a bride … whose pride has died. Anonymous
