“Once you allow humility to be established within you that is only when the pruning can start”.
Liken to a farmer; he can not prune his tree if the seed ‘in a sense’ doesn’t humble itself to grow as the farmer feeds it with its regular needs. Only when the tree starts to grow and bear fruit will the farmer be able to remove the branches, ‘bad habits’ that could impede the tree from blossoming into a beautiful tree.
The same way it works with the Lord Jesus and you.
You can not be all talk and say, “God use me, help me to change, help me to become new, show me what I need to improve, Lord start to do a new work inside of me,” if you are not willing to let go of the PRIDE and at least take a slice out from the humble pie; it’s IMPOSSIBLE.
Let me share with you a common experience we have all been through at least once in our lives.
A friend is trying to tell you that this is the right way but you are adamant that your way is right, then your friend decides to go your way but then you both end up at a dead end. Instead of you to apologise and understand that your friend was right, you decided to beat around the bush to show them you are right.
Lol…I bet you are smiling because either you have been through it personally or you know someone who is like that…that is a sign of pride and you not being humble.
The dictionary meaning of humble: to be modest, submissive, etc.
It isn’t a walk in the park to be humble; it isn’t just spreading butter on toast; sometimes it takes a lot of YOUR own strength, and other times it takes someone else to make you humble. It just depends on which route you decide to take.
There are so many things I want to say right now in this one post but I want you all to really digest each post. So until next time…. when I will dive into the word ‘humble’ or ‘humility’ and how it can be applied on literally every day trials or situations. Feel free to leave comments, questions, etc.
But till part two, it still remains LOVE KISSES AND ALL THE GOOD STUFF!
