Proud Humility
Had a chat with God earlier when I caught myself being prideful and judging someone else. Went something like this…
“God, don’t let me get so proud that you need to step in and humble me. I don’t want you to humble me because that would hurt and probably be embarrassing.”
So basically I was telling God that I want to be in control of my own humility, that I can stay humble by myself. I don’t like the idea of you being in control of shaping and moulding me so I’ll take care of my humility myself… thank you very much.
Is that THE most prideful approach to humility ever or what?! Isn’t the whole point that we give God permission to shape us to be more like his son, and that we willingly submit out lives for him to change us as he sees fit?! And I want to be in control of that?
Seriously, do I think I can do a better job than he can? Or am I just a scardey-cat when it comes to giving God control?
