Why do I so often shun hate a lovely expression of my God because it is shown through another person? Lord, please teach me to be humble.
Tonight, a girl from down my hall was in my room singing a song she just wrote. It was gorgeous. She is gorgeous. But my first reaction was to shut it out because of silly ol' envy. Sitting against my door with arms draped across my knees, I watched her and checked myself. I took a breath and actually listened to the words she sung and let myself appreciate the beauty of it all. Her words moved me to prayer and a realization about something I had been struggling with.
Pride does nothing to further our talents, gifts, or lives -- it only keeps us from enjoying the beauty of the variety of expressions of our amazing God. So just sit back, relax, and enjoy the goodness.
