humble servant

Let me share a scripture I read today. "A man's pride will bring him low, but the humble in spirit will retain honor" (Proverbs 29:23)

This is something that I am very aware of since I was a kid. However, I was one of the proud guys people around me know of. Not that I boast everything to everybody, but I know to my self that I am good at a lot of things. So, I usually don't bow down to anybody, nor do I follow everything that I'm being told to do. I must admit that my pride got me in conflict with people such as my parents, brothers, spouse, colleagues, and even bosses at work.

When I had my miscarriage four weeks ago, I realized how bad I've become because of my pride. It was like a movie wherein I had a flash back of what happened in my past. I felt terrible thinking that I could have been a better person had I set aside my pride a lot of times. I could have been a better human being had I followed the scriptures.

I know I cannot turn the time back. Yet, I'm aware that I can have a better future now that I've accepted that I am nothing without God. I am His humble servant and I can only be the best of what and who I want to be when I have Him in my life...


if I can only be as humble as a kid just like my sone Boris here always...
