Humbly

I’ve breached many subjects in the last month or so of this website. And it’s been fun. However, it’s time for it to end. Yes, it feels like it has just started (and it has), but the time for the teachings are over. Except for this last one.

Humility. Such a scary word. And yet, it has the same general idea as submission.

I’ve been wrong lots of times. I know other people who have been wrong in different situations also. What I always find interesting, though, is how people act. Do they get angry, sad, worried, or right? How do they handle the situation? Cause whether they know it or not, it makes a world of difference.

Let’s pretend I’m wrong. I said something at some function to a group of people that I shouldn’t have said. What should my reaction be? Humbling myself into apology. But not just an apology to God — that would be way too easy. I would have to get back up in front of those people and ask them to forgive me. It goes the same way on a personal basis. If you offend somebody, you have to go to them personally and apologize. And that’s humbling.

I think that people have this whole apologizing thing down pack, or they at least think they do. But listen folks: it’s EASY to apologize to God. He’s not going to go and tell everybody what we did. And we have assurance that he will love us no matter what. But to apologize to a friend or group of people…that’s different. A friend can go and tell everybody what happened. And a group of people have every right in the book to think badly of you. It’s a risk.

A rewarding one though.

The other half of humbling yourself is learning. You can’t just apologize and move on; you have to learn from the situation. Otherwise, what was the point of it?

Please, always, always learn from a humbling situation. It’s a gift from God.




Thank you all for your time in reading “Liquid Agape.” I hope that in some sense you have a better idea of how to have liquid agape running through your veins. Please, if you have any friends that you think could benefit from these thoughts, send them this way. The website will continue to stay just where it’s at. Thank you again, and good night.
