I have thought on the same topic ...Wow, great post!<br />I have thought on the same topic for a long time, and never felt free to put down on paper either, for fear of that seeming proud.... so I'm glad you did! It is an area that baffles and troubles and plagues me, but that is part of Christianity, I feel sure.<br />I guess the part that was so true for me was where you said about how many times you referred to yourSELF in speaking of sin in yourself... that you were mad at yourself rather than the sin! I have struggled all my Christian life with that - being bad at and beating down self because of sin instead of seeing it as sin and looking to the Father for forgiveness; and then learning to leave the past behind and press toward the mark.<br />So, thank you for your post!<br />Philippians is one of my favorite books as well (I'm determined to memorize the rest of it in 2011!)<br /><br />~ Rose from NYRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10287794767279537092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729287136187801250.post-45693962122809278382010-11-30T21:57:33.891-05:002010-11-30T21:57:33.891-05:00Thanks, Ladies. :)

Your definition of humility was so good, it reminded me to pay attention to what my favorite book, Philippians, says. One thing that I as a writer struggle with in regards to humility is my stories. I like it when people read my stories, I feel like it makes all the time and effort worth something. But I don't want that to be a prideful thing of wanting them to read MY stories. I want it to affect them and be used in their life. It is such a hard balance. Thanks so much for posting.<br /><br /> LuluSavedGirlhttp://homeschoolblogger.com/livingforjesus/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729287136187801250.post-60325887331443763882010-11-30T17:02:26.139-05:002010-11-30T17:02:26.139-05:00Good thoughts!!
