This is what it all comes down to. My world centers around me. But if I truly want to pursue living for Christ when everything around me shouts what I deserve, what makes ME happy, how I can best be fulfilled--then I am going to have to dig deep.
I'm going to be simple today. I'm going to simply list some activities that will help me measure how humble and gentle I am.
I am humble when I:
~ forgive quickly
~ am patient and don't say a word when I am treated unfairly
~ do menial service without looking for any recognition (no one knows)
~ accept criticism gracefully
~ don't fight to get the best...
~ intentionally befriend the unfriendly, the unlovely
~ admit weaknesses to a few people
~ pick up trash wherever I find it
~ speak well of others
This list doesn't originate with me, but I neglected to write down who I heard it from when I took notes. Sorry!
