Humility is a hard deal, if you know what I mean. Recently, I broke my wrist and it has been tough because I can't do as much as I used to be able to do, so I've had to ask for help a lot more often. I realize now that it's been a blessing in disguise and that God is using my broken wrist to teach me how to be humble. To simply ask for help when I need it... but that's been more of a challenge than I thought... humble smile...
Practically all the time I'm independent -- which isn't a bad thing -- but ever since I broke my wrist I've noticed that I was being proud not independent. Humility's definition is being modest, not proud. This is a struggle for me, but a good struggle; and I'm slowly but surely getting it down. Besides, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Even ask for help.
How wise you are to see the connection, to grasp the lesson. How loved you are by your God. :-)
