-sigh-.. so how can people be humble? I mean.. how do they not get even a little prideful sometimes?? I get bitterly jealous of them, because I don't understand it. Like, when you get yelled at, or get corrected at.. oh idunno! Something! how on earth are they able to "humbly" say: "I understand. I totally messed up, I'm so so sorry." I envy that!
lol, but something like that pretty much happened to me today. It was a kind of overwhelming humblness. Actually, how about this: what does "humblness" even mean?? Dictionary.com said:
–noun "the quality or condition of being humble; modest opinion or estimate of one's own importance, rank, etc."
or hey, check out this:
—Synonyms
lowliness, meekness, submissiveness.
doesn't it send a little prick in the back of your neck?? haha! it sure does for me!
and its antonym?? -Pride.
As we hate to admit it. Yes. We are prideful to the core. Sinful, "puffy," people. It sure gets to you eh?? like for me, I know theres a problem with that.. I just don't feel like fixing it. You know what I'm saying?
Its no fun being told your wrong, under any circumstances; or maybe! even just being plain, flat out, pride.. although inside you know one thing (and I totally speak for myself) Your not. and you can't do anything alone. You yourself are weak, and you need God every step of the way.
You know, the majority of us struggle with pride in some kinda way, at some point. But when is it time to admit your a failure, your a sinner, and you were a serious screw up to someone, or better yet, God?
Three Word.
Submission. Loweliess. &Meekness.
How can you obtain that? By giving up yourself.. and laying down your life saying,"God do what you want with me.. because I can't do this one my own, and I need you."
Gosh, the moment I truely said that, I FELT AMAZING! wow! the Holy Spirit is quite the uplifter! :)
How amazing my God is: In admiting your weakness, his power is made strong.
2 Corithians 12:9-10
9And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness " Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 10Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.
just thought I'd share this with everyone, because thats what God taught me today.. :)
hope it helped you, just as it helped me<3
