Returning Point: Humble me

Humble me

I'm praying to be humbled more and more and to become humble. Dangg...because of my pride I'm not treating everyone the same. Sometimes, I treat some people better than others and sometimes I treat some people worse than others. I think if the person benefits me, I treat them better.On the contrary, those I don't think please me I tend to not even look at people in the eye when I feel pissed off at them. Dangg...I'm judging people. Moreover, I even see myself sticking my nose up in the air sometimes in front of others :S

I'm going to go visit at Holland Bloorview for the next two months. I need to be humble to serve those children and the staff. I cannot place myself in others' shoes if I simply think of myself all the time. I'm also playing softball for the next two months and I'm going to be meeting a lot of non-Christians. How will I share or live out the Gospel if I'm not humble?

God I need to be humble...humble me...

God increase...me decrease!

Psalm 51

¹ Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
² Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.

³ For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.
⁴ Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight;
so you are right in your verdict
and justified when you judge.
⁵ Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
⁶ Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb;
you taught me wisdom in that secret place.

⁷ Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
⁸ Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
⁹ Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.

¹⁰ Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
¹¹ Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
¹² Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

¹³ Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
so that sinners will turn back to you.
¹⁴ Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God,
you who are God my Savior,
and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
¹⁵ Open my lips, Lord,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
¹⁶ You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
¹⁷ My sacrifice, O God, is^[b] a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart
you, God, will not despise.

¹⁸ May it please you to prosper Zion,
to build up the walls of Jerusalem.
¹⁹ Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous,
in burnt offerings offered whole;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.
