Crossed-up Life

Life is coming at us fast and we can be bowled over by our circumstances and words of discouragement offered by others or we can lean upon the only safe structure there is. Being a writer I have to spell out my pains and either hold onto them or pin them upon the cross of hope. My hope isn’t found by holding onto this stuff but rather letting go of it all.

In other words I am living a “Crossed-up life”. Care to join me?

Humility

I read an article today that spoke of humility. Basically it said the quicker we learn humility the quicker we can move forward and may even gain a position of leadership. Pride stops us from making progress in the area of humility. No one likes to admit they are wrong and even less to have to admit it to others.

It is hard for me to understand true humility because it doesn’t need to confess itself. True humility just is.

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