Before I begin, let me define my title:<\/p>\n
Strength – the quality or state of being strong:<\/strong> capacity for exertion or endurance<\/p>\n Humility – a disposition to be humble; a lack of false pride<\/p>\n In the fast paced world that we exist in today, you rarely hear acts of true humility. More time is spent telling you about the stories of despair, tragedy, and destruction. Not that I am taking anything away from that, there (to me) has been such a loss of focus on the great acts that still take place every day.<\/p>\n Along with listening to constant negativity, I find it very hard to see anything good from anyone anymore. In fact, everything that comes to me in conversation is always about what they are going through, who they have a problem with, who doesn\u2019t like them, what makes them upset, what drives them crazy, the list goes on and on. Here is the part that leaves me heavy hearted. There are all kinds of people out there, who stand in terrible need, and yet never get anything but the tough treatment and neglect from everyone. These kinds of people don\u2019t have enough willpower within themselves anymore to be able to stand on one\u2019s own and be able to handle is in front of them. They are desperate for help, and get passed on by. They are looking for humility from others so that they can receive something they don\u2019t have within: Strength.<\/p>\n I know you think I\u2019m going to take a laid back perspective, and say things that we should do, that no one actually will perform. Not only am I going to stray from that view, I will surprise you with this concept:<\/p>\n A self-centered personality can be easily lessened in one\u2019s life by finding strength from humility.<\/p>\n If life is always about you, then you can\u2019t possibly be of help to others. More boldly, if life is always about what you need, how can you ever hear God\u2019s voice telling you to help the person right in front of you?<\/p>\n Let me give you 2 verses to support my following statement:<\/p>\n
