God’s LOVE knows not pride and we have been told, “Pride goeth before the fall”
The human species is the perfect embodiment, now, of this great truth; just look how far man’s prideful expression and experience of LOVE has made them tumble.
Vain LOVE; overwhelming pain, the mad way, insane
LOVE divine; happiness sublime, LOVE God’s, ours, not mine
Peace fills the void, the absence of arrogant LOVE leaves behind…
just LOVE…

“Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, something is out of tune.” ~ C.G. Jung
“Thus with my lips have I denounced you, while my heart, bleeding within me, called you tender names.
It was love lashed by its own self that spoke. It was pride half slain that fluttered in the dust. It was my hunger for your love that raged from the housetop, while my own love, kneeling in silence, prayed your forgiveness.” ~ Kahlil Gibran, The Forerunner: His Parables and Poems
