I have something to share.

When pride comes , then comes disgrace,
but with humility comes wisdom.
-Proverbs 11:2

Pride goes before destruction,
a haughty spirit before a fall.
-Proverbs 16:18

Pride brings a person low,
but the lowly in spirit gain honour.
-Proverbs 29:23

Week after week, what Ps Chiew Har has been saying to us during our lessons has been like a bull eyes straight to my heart. Being the egomaniac that I am, I realized the core to my problems like being so worried about what others think of me is PRIDE( a high or inordinate opinion of one's own dignity, importance, merit, or superiority, whether as cherished in the mind or as displayed in bearing, conduct, etc. ). I don't want people to think I'm stupid, less worthy or anything else because I would like to think of myself much better. And this is exactly what will bring me down for pride is the one stopping us from accepting criticisms or being corrected. The scriptures pretty much speak for themselves.

Also,
Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgement, in accordance with the faith of God has distributed to each of you.
-Romans 12:3

There is a fine line between dignity and pride which needs to be distinguished. Dignity is about giving yourself the self respect that you yourself earned and deserve.
All in all, I'm just trying to say there shouldn't be over statements or even under statements as testimonies in life, just the plain who we are.
I hope all these make sense.

The weather has been really depressing of late. It's wet, cold, windy and the skies turn dark at about 5.45pm. And it's only autumn.
Thank God I'm not fighting to keep myself from getting hypothermia in some place like Russia or Canada or even Greenland.

It's time for Monday blues.

♥ me for who
I am
