Unseen, and unsuspected

Pride is a principle deeply rooted in our fallen
nature, and which nothing but the Holy Spirit
can eradicate.

Pride, assuming every form, either worldly
or religious, can go with us into the sanctuary!
Like a subtle poison, it can insinuate itself
into our prayers and praises.

Unseen, and unsuspected, it mars our best
duties, and creates that 'self admiration'; that
desire for human applause; which corrupts the
heart, and steals it away from God.

Thomas Reade, The Evil of Pride
