A Kiss from Rose | God Checking the Uncheckable

Some people walk around untouched

Unaccountable. Untouchable. Unbothered.

Nobody can correct them, challenge them, or call them out — because in their mind, they are never wrong

They have built walls so high that even wisdom can’t climb them

You can’t tell them anything

You can’t question them

You can’t guide them — not because you are wrong, but because they are too proud to listen

Their pride is louder than their prayers

Their ego is bigger than their ears

They talk like they wrote the Bible and walk like consequences can’t find them

But here’s what I’ve learned

When no one else can check you… God will

And when He does, it hits different

God knows how to expose what’s hidden

He knows how to humble the high places and silence the arrogance

He doesn’t shout — He allows life to speak for Him

He will sit you down in a way that no argument, no clapback, and no fake confidence can fix

He’ll take the very thing you boasted about and use it to break you

He’ll let what you idolized humiliate you

He’ll strip the spotlight and make you face yourself in the dark

Not to embarrass you, but to rebuild what your pride has ruined

Because while people play with grace — God corrects out of love

And He does not care about your title, your followers, your platform, or your good intentions

He wants your heart — and He will tear through your delusion to get to it

He’ll break what ego built — not to destroy you, but to deliver you

Because correction is love

Accountability is protection

And when you think you are above all rebuke, you are one step away from collapse

So if no one can come for you — let God do it

Let Him search your heart

Let Him deal with the pride you have disguised as “being real”

Let Him shake up that untouchable attitude you wear like armor

Because when God checks you, He’s not coming to impress you

He’s coming to change you

To heal you

To free you from the version of yourself that’s blocking the blessing

“God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” — James 4:6

Sometimes, the message may not be what you want to hear. Yet, it is always backed up by facts. In the words of my mother, “What does the WORD say?”

Need to know, here you go.

🔹 Accountability and Correction

Hebrews 12:6 — “For whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives.”
Proverbs 3:11-12 — God corrects those He loves like a father does his child.

🔹 Pride and Ego

James 4:6 — “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
Proverbs 16:18 — “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.”
Obadiah 1:3 — “The pride of your heart has deceived you…”

🔹 Refusing Correction

Proverbs 12:15 — “The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who heeds counsel is wise.”
Proverbs 15:10 — “Harsh discipline is for him who forsakes the way, and he who hates correction will die.”
Proverbs 29:1 — “He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.”

🔹 God Using Life to Teach

Galatians 6:7 — “Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.”
God allows consequences to teach (e.g., David’s sin with Bathsheba, 2 Samuel 12)
