Home is where the heart is, and that’s where it’s gonna stay

“First, if we are truly humble, we will be weaned from ourselves and have no more constant self-preoccupation…

Second, if we are really humble we will be lost in the wonder of Jesus Christ

And third, no MATTER how bad life’s situations get, we will not complain. We’ll understand that we deserve far worse than anything we experience in this life… We’ll fully appreciate that ‘the sufferings of this present time are not worthy with the glory that is to be revealed to us’ (Rom. 8.18)

Fourth, we will see the strenghts and virtues of others as well as our own weaknesses and sins.

Fifth, we will spend a lot of time in prayer. As the physical beggas pleads for earthly sustenance, spiritual beggars ask regularly for spirited food.

Sixth, we will accept Chris on His terms, not ours or any other terms.

Finally, when we have true humility we will praise and thank God for his Grace to us.”

John Macarthur, you’s a wise old man.

Humility isn’t only about acknowledging the possible existence others of others more talented, worthier, smarter, funnier than you; it’s viewing yourself as unworthy, lost and ignorant, childlike in His eyes. Sure, accepting that others are better than you is an integral part of humility, but through a comparison over others we suggest we are better than others. What is our own prowess over a few others compared to our unworth? What matters more than Jesus? If we are truly humble, we can’t hope but feel the magnitude of our sin, our lawlessness, how microscopically insignificant we are compared to the sacrifice of our sinless and perfect savior Jesus. And yet, he was willingly sacrificed for all of us, not even a speck in a speck in a speck of the limitless universe he contains in a single hand. I pray to strive for humility, overwhelmed by the love he showed through the Cross and look not at ourselves but purely at the Creator. Nothing in this life, no trials, no tribulations, no one, no thing, no desire, no pursuit — NOTHING — can compare to the limitless love surrounding us. We’re not even worthy enough to beg for mercy, and yet the option of Salvation was willingly presented on a silver platter. And it’s this simple — accept and worship the on who created us, takes care of us, patiently waits for us, forgives us, LOVES us. Pray to be humble, overwhelmed in our understanding of His love, thanking him for His sacrifice. Truly, humility first.

Day Ten: One confession.

1. My whole life, I was too trusting. I think the best of people no matter what, no matter their past. Even if I bitch about their flaws, mishaps, and errors, even then I still think that doesn’t define them. Nothings set in stone. The world’s biggest thief can pull a 180 and become amazingly generous. And so, I trust people. Always have, even when nearly every time it ended with me being hurt or looking like a fool. Even then, I would give my trust back, over and over, because I’m forgiving. But now I’m learning to look out for myself. I’ve changed. Putting my trust 100% doesn’t make sense to me anymore. I’m going to be normal now. I’m giving trust gradually, slowly, and not unconditionally like I have before. I still trust everyone to a certain extent, but this change means I won’t be surprised when I’m wrong about them. It’s so I have a bit of a cushion with people, having a bit of a wall. A wall that won’t stop the blow, but will minimize it. And that’s enough. I’m not withholding the possibility of you receiving my unconditional trust like so many because that’s selfish, but I’m not giving trust just because you MIGHT deserve it. If you deserve it, you’ll receive it. And if not, I’ll just have to live with the fact that I’m not giving trust where it’s due — it’s more circumstantial now.

And, unfortunately, I’m going to be more wary with my trust when it deals with the opposite sex.
