Simply Humbled by Simple Things

I've been humbled many times in my life, way more than I can count. I mean very humbled, God is amazing and he knows just how to humble a person. I may need it more than other people most of the time, I can attest that I may need a bit more humility in my life. Hey don't tell God that all right? Oh wait, darn...cats out of the bag, he knows. Anyways, yeah so being humbled is a big deal.

I have to say I have been writing letters to people and churches, and let me tell you, it is one of the most humbling things that have to be done in my life. Because these letters are not just hey whats up letters they are, please give me money so that I can spread the good news of Jesus as best I can to the rest of the world. It's not stealing, it's not selfish, I am not being greedy, I sincerely need this money so that I can go do exactly that try as best I can to spread the gospel. But you look at what you write and you are like, wow...this is people's hard earned money that by the grace of God they possibly might GIVE to you to go across the world and to do exactly what you told them you would do. But God's people are good, and I am happy that there are people and churches in this world who would sacrifice money to these causes because they will win the people of the world to Jesus. They will change people's lives that they have never met.

So of course, this humbles me. Money that is not mine, yet in my possession still won't be mine, and entrusted to me to do with what seems necessary. It is a simple thing that humbles me and makes me step back a little bit to examine it. Yeah..humility is quite an interesting thing.

All to God.
