Humility

Dear sisters,

 

   have been wanting to blog for quite a while but was simply too tied up with work. Something interesting happened at work. Came back from a presentation and my boss gave me some input (negative ones). Even though, as Christians, we have been told to imitate Christ's humility, I coudn't help feeling bad. There is no doubt that I reproached myself...Some thoughts that cross my head are as follows:

 

- "Why, Why did I say that?"

- "I don't like your remark. You are a critical person by nature"

- " Oh no, will you tell-tales to your boss, my BIG boss?"

- " Surely there is some good that I did worth your mention?"

 

  The reason why there was so many questions in my head is due to myself wanting to look good in front of people, esp the bosses. Also, my security is not in God. (Sisters, am I the only one feeling this way?). At home, I want to look good in front of in-laws. At church, Christians....list goes on.

 

   Christ is humble. The bible says he does not entrust himself to man because he knows what is in a man.

 

  Actually I think God allows this to happen to reveal my heart that is far from Christ. In any case, I am working with non Christians. I have to shine even in the area of taking input, yet not allowing myself to be discouraged, because I have confidence in the STRENGTHs God has given me.

 

==> reliable, responsibility, making sure that the setup is correct, prizes ready.

 

   So sisters, be praying for me to walk the road of humility yet being secure God.
