DAILY INSPIRATION 12/10 – A Whole Bunch of Humble Me’s

By on Uncategorized
So I asked God the other day if it would be okay to just be me. My silly, goofy, off-the-beaten-track, march-to-a-different-drummer, shabby chick Christian, jeans-and-thrift-shop-and-hand-me-downs wearing, simple life, passionately, head-over-heels-in-love-with-the-Lord, preaching, writing, oftentimes dirty-from-all-the-dogs, stepping-on-poop-way-too-often, me. And in a season of pleading with Him to help me to walk free from the pride He has shown me has run so rampant in my life, He sort of surprised me with His answer.

He not only told me it is okay to be me. He told me He wants me to be me. After all, me is who He created me to be. He didn’t create me to be you, or anyone else, not a single other person on this earth, not anybody but me. And then it came to me. Learning to walk free from the horrible sin of pride means I get to become okay with merely being humble me. And it makes me wonder.

Just suppose we all decided to take a go at repenting of our pride and getting rid of our pretenses and false exteriors and did our very best to become a world of just-humbly-me’s? Not me, I mean. But suppose we all decided to do everything possible to be the people God created us to be, no matter how different we looked or sounded or acted or thought or felt than everybody else.

And I can’t think of a better place to begin than to seek the Lord’s face and His Word to help us become the humbly-me’s He created us to be. A whole big bunch of humbly-me’s.

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” James 4:7-10

    I precisely wished to say thanks again. I do not know the things I would have taken care of without the entire solutions provided by you relating to this situation. It was the distressing circumstance in my view, but viewing your specialised style you dealt with the issue made me to cry with contentment. Now i am happier for the assistance as well as believe you are aware of a powerful job you happen to be getting into training men and women thru a web site. I’m certain you haven’t encountered any of us.
