Prideful or Humble?

[Ky_GirlatHeart 249]

Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

Do we stand humbly and quietly or boastful and tall?

Do we speak to others in the kindest way,

Or do we berate them in whatever we say?

Do we lift others up and praise them highly,

Or about ourselves do we brag finely?

Are we humble in our dress,

Or are our lives steeped in vanity a mess?

This is not a reminder just for you; it is also for me.

To watch my words and with Christ's love I will see.

How to be humble to everyone I meet

In how I treat them and in the way I greet.

Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

Am I standing humbly and quietly or boastful and tall?

Very nice. I like it a lot

 

I wrote a sermon once that dealt with pride and humility, the catch phrase of the sermon

was "prove to me that you're humble, and I'll prove that you're not"

[Abbye K 11]

Wow.  Excellent reminder to how we are to really be.

I take great pride in my humility.

I'm very proud of how humble I am.

I don't think I know anyone who is as humble as I.

@William D'Andrea I'm assuming that that was not being for real...

     Right.  It's just a joke, which I can continue.

     "Just who do you think you are anyway?"

     "Do I look like an e-way?"

    "No, but you act like you think you're one."

@William D'Andrea I figured it was a joke. Lol

It's a good reminder too though. We can get so caught up in trying to be humble that we start getting prideful about it.
