Humble Pie


Matthew 18:4 ~"Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."~


Proverbs 29:23 ~"A man's pride will bring him low, But the humble in spirit will retain honor."~

How many of *y’all have ever eaten humble pie? Well I have had to eat humble pie several times in my lifetime and probably will have to eat it again in the future. The reason that I know this is, because we are human and we battle our flesh daily. There isn’t anything wrong with eating humble pie as long as you learn from the experience. We as Christians should never judge or assume anything about anyone. We have to be very careful not to have e a Pharoses attitude toward others who are not on the same level spiritually as we are. Because always remember how you began your walk with Christ; for instance, did you quit all your bad habits immediately or did you have to take lil baby steps? Babies have to drink milk before they can chew on meat. This is the same process for all Christians. No one is saved overnight. It is a daily process. Jesus said that we must pick up the cross daily and follow him. This means that each new day is a chance to try and get things right. Don’t worry about what happened yesterday or last year ,but concern yourself with today. Stop expecting people to live like you want them to live, stop looking for faults in others, and please stop judging others. Because remember that Matt 7:2 "For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you." So for those of *y’all that kind of got beside yourselves and began looking your noses down on others; look in the mirror, swallow your pride, and eat a big ole’ slice of humble pie, because no one is perfect and we all mess up. Just be thankful that we have an understanding and merciful Father who loves and forgives all of us.


Can anyone out there relate?


Be Blessed *Y'all.
