PATIENCE AND HUMILITY

Patience will help us to keep calm in our troubles and difficulties. It will help us think more clearly. As a result, we shall find it easier to turn to God when we need Him.

"The sufferings of this present time
are not worthy to be compared with the
glory which shall be revealed in us."

(Romans 8:18)

Humility will help us admit our weaknesses and nothingness. It will make us less irritable and resentful of our distasteful experiences.

These two virtues will us have peace in the middle of our troubles. Then with a definite plan in mind, we can proceed against our faults and conquer our temptations.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - HYPOCRICY

"Few men speak humbly of humility,
chasely of chastity,
skeptically of skepticism."


Blaise Pascal

HUMILITY IN ACTION

Saying I don't know is an act of humility. It makes us more in touch with reality and truth. We are more believable and approachable. When we say, I don't know, we acknowledge and accept vulnerabilities. This is what you call humility in action.

If we are self-centered and arrogant, we cannot work directly to develop a humble heart. Instead, we work indirectly toward humility against the objective measure of a pure heart. A humble unassuming person immediately puts us at ease. We can feel more relax and be ourselves in their presence, a comfort zone, no fear because the heart of the humble knows love. It is not a sign of weakness or being passive. Rather, it gives us the courage and strength of accepting and understanding the purpose of being in this world, as a part of humanity, and a part of life.

Practicing humility is not changing our personality, but it helps put an end to the practice of setting ourselves above others. If we really wish to be able to love, then we must empty our heart in humility.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - HUMILITY

"A man can counterfeit love, he can counterfeit faith,
he can counterfeit hope and all the other graces,
but it is very difficult to counterfeit humility."

D. L. Moody

FOOLISH PRIDE

Pride or fear prevents many from seeking needed advice. As a result they are hurting more seriously as they go along in life. It takes humility to admit faults and limitations. It takes courage to do something about them. Will you be a fool and avoid the aid of those who can help you?

May we never refuse to others the sympathetic understanding and assistance which we would want if we were in their troubles.
