BAM! Not to mention all the events that are sure to be goin' down. How you spending your 4th of July Weekend? I hope your livin' it up, heh heh. Aight, on to... da Word!
checkit:
All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."
- Peter (1 Peter 5:5)
Humility, aww yeah! That is one character quality that is TOUGH to master. I mean everyone wants to stand out! Everyone's wants to be like, "Yo, recognize da skillz kid!" It's extremely EASY to feel proud and pump ourselves up. It makes us "feel" good too. Alas, therein lies the irony. Pride can be a killer. It can make us feel good, yeah... but at the same time it can and will destroy many of your relationshihps in the process. It will burn bridges like CRAZY buthaz and sistaz! That, in turn, results in lost opportunties in the future. Furthermore, you'll find yourself pretty quickly becoming alone. As if those weren't bad enough, now you'll have Pops above HIMSELF opposin' ya! Who in their right mind would want the God of da universe, the quintessential being, the center of everything that is.... against you!?!? I mean, that is LUDICROUS!

Now, being humble, aww yeah, that's where it's at. The ability to squash ego and not rub our achievements or skillz in the faces of others. The ability to recognize that, yooo, there is ALWAYS someone out there who is much better. There's always someone who can top you. And of course, God tops anybody without even lifting a pinky playa! It's better to recognize that Pops above blessed you with your skillz. And to be thankful! Cuz there are others who would LOVE to have them skillz, but Pops bestowed them upon you! That is freakin' awesome!
Furthermore, the humble kat is also usually the popular kat. Popular in the sense that he or she is likely never alone, AND are encircled by REAL friends, not the fake ones. There always peeps who like them, like hanging out with them, who look up them, and who learn from them. People who seem to have it all, yet remain humble and down to earth, are like GEMS to our eyes. Yo, I'm tellin' you, people will WANT to present you with amazing opportunities! Your life will be SO much more fulfilled and joyous too! WOW, all those benefits of being humble sound mad tight eh? But check THIS: God HIMSELF gives grace to the humble...... BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM! God will have your back? God will bless you even more? God will give you GRACE!? That's the icing on the CAKE. I don't know about you, but to me, being humble sounds like the freakin' bomb diggity!
Let's be humble. Let's challenge ourselves every day, in the small things, and in the big, to be humble.
G-bless,
- patrick
