Humility

I am always astonished at the words that come up every month.  Last month it was “intensity.”  April brought “vulnerability.”  This month is beginning with “humility.”  C.S. Lewis said, “As long as you are proud you cannot know God. A proud man is always looking down on things and people: and, of course, as long as you are looking down you cannot see something that is above you.”  Humility!  I cannot look sideways or forward without looking inward first and foremost at my strengths and weaknesses.  I am reminded how humility teaches me to be with love, with the self, and with God.Falling on my knees in prayer I am connecting with the oneness of all there is and will ever be…divinity.  Humility forces me to be kinder, gentler, while forgiving the things that come my way.  The stronger the trials, the longer the patience, the easier it is to be humbled.  There is nothing else to do.  I accept the insults, the judgments, the heart aches and bring them to the understanding that they must uncover the triggers in my own faults.  I choose the things that hurt to partake in a deeper union with Source.  When things are easy there is no need to pray so this is an opportunity to strengthen my spirituality.  Belief and faith bring forth the humble heart.I challenge you to sit with your humility.  I urge you to take moments of silence and accept the things you cannot change and not beat yourself up.  The only control you have is in the choices you get to make for you.  Find the balance between what is and what is not.  I promise you will be amazed!!!
