HUMILITY APPEARS WITHOUT VOLITION

Geez, just yesterday the thought flitted through my mind that my pride was peeking up from under its dark cover. Then today, in "God Calling" is the admonition: Do not seek too much the praise and notice of [others].

Humility is found within....ain't no going out and buying a bucketful...but, mercy, it is hard to want, much less to welcome, its appearance! I guess that's because, to me, humility feels like humiliation when it is being born. It appears without volition...that's its very nature. If we could self-will humility, it would not be humility...it'd be looking-good power!

Once again...stumped by my own ego. Looking for the gold, I remember that when the need arises, God appears.

Here's me...looking forward with dread.

Thank you.
