From a Christian blog: Are we this humble?

[Eternum]

I was reading this amazing post and just wanted to share it with this community: ARE WE THIS HUMBLE?

Our Savior was crushed and spit upon….

The king of kings was born to a lowly girl (Luke 1:4) The creator of the universe was swaddled and laid in a feeding trough (Luke 2:7) The first to hear of the birth of the Messiah and come to worship him were mere shepherds (Luke 2: 8-17) Jesus was born to a family too poor to offer the sacrifice of a lamb — so they gave two turtledoves instead. (Luke 2: 22-24) Leveticus 12:6-8)

Are we this lowly. Are we this humble? Or do we believe that we are always entitled to something bigger, better or more than we already have. Are you too prideful to do the unnoticed and embarrassing tasks — like washing the dirty feet of others, hoping they will reciprocate or express their deep gratitude…

There's more, but wanted to provide a sense of what that post is about. It's timely for me as the person on the other end of prideful people. I have literally been told recently that I'm not worth the time. So reading this was a great source of comfort, but also a warning to me not to harden my own heart from the hurt of others and perpetuate the cycle. Pride plagues the world, and this post reminds me that if the cycle is to break, it's going to be by words and reminders like this.
