Being humble is sometimes a very difficult thing, especially for us men whose ego is larger than life. We think so highly of ourselves at times. I can remember growing up and my mother saying, " If you don't blow your own horn, no one else will." So, needless to say, I grew up with a healthy dose of self confidence and worth.
I try not to think too highly of myself. In fact, I make it a point to never really just come right out and brag or be cocky. I try to live a life that is that of a servant. Recently, I have struggled with the fact that many people mistake being humble with being weak minded or weak willed. I just don't get it. Humble does not equal weak or passive.
In the same vein, I get really aggravated when someone assumes that because you are poor, you must be stupid or the assumption that because you are physically dirty you must be poor.
I hope that I can be as God would have me be and "look on the heart." 1 Sam 16:7
People are not always what they seem to be and all of us have more depth, character, and life than what is shared or displayed to the world.
