~I'M SHY - ha hahaha ha hee hee~
"Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all
these things shall be added unto you."
-matthew 6:33
By Andrew Wommack,
Most people recognize the one end of arrogance and haughtiness
as pride, but fail to see the other end, which is low self esteem
resulting in false humility, timidity, or shyness.
Their low self-esteem causes self to dominate their thoughts.
They are so focused on self and that all protect self,
they become timid and shy, causing themselves much grief.
If they were asked to give a testimony or lay hands on someone for
prayer, their pride would prevent it.
They would not take the risk of SELF being criticized.
[Aha! I can finish at least 10 books in year 2010!!]
Those with false humility, on the other hand, believe that to
debase self is humility and to exalt self is pride.
But that's wrong too.
"Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up."
-James 4:10
True humility is agreeing with what God's word says about
who you are and doing what God's word says you can do.
Then quit worrying about what people may think,
whether they praise you or condemn you.
It just doesn't matter when you are truly humble and dead to self.
-I think we all broke down pride and low self esteem
in YES. Amen? Amen!! haha! -
As long as you are here on earth,
you will have to make the decision to love Jesus more than self.
EVERYDAY.
