Showing Humility

"If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness." (2 Cor 11: 30)

Not very long time ago, I found it hard to admit my mistakes and show my weaknesses. Even until now, it is still not that easy for me to admit my mistakes and apologize at times. Many times, I find that it is the issue of pride involved that really made it hard for me to admit my mistakes.

I found out that it was PRIDE that actually makes me feel 'low' or humiliated when I admit my own mistakes and weaknesses. When I took pride in my own strength, I found it hard to humble myself in front of others. When this happens, I used to feel offended and quickly start to defend myself.

I've realized it now, that in my life, especially in my service for God, PRIDE has no place in my life. Yes, it is very hard to do and I am still learning to do that. It says in Proverbs 29:23, "A man's pride brings him low, but a man of lowly spirit gains honor." I find this verse very true to my life, especially in my service for God. I've made many mistakes and there is no point in defending myself and not admitting my mistake; just to protect my own PRIDE; because in the end of the day, I'm reminded of why I do all these things and who I do it for in the first place. That is why I'm learning to be humble in everything that I do; though I may not find it easy.

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. (2 Corinthians 12:9)

May HIS glory be revealed through my weaknesses. All GLORY goes to HIM alone!
God bless.
