It’s been said, “True humility is seeing ourselves in others who lose their way, in others who seem unlovable from the outside, in those who continue to fall no matter how good their intentions were.”
Why is it humbling to look at broken people making broken type decisions? If we look carefully, we see ourselves in the unlovable, in those who lose their way and in those who keep falling. If we’re honest with ourselves, we know the saying, “But by the grace of God, there go I,” is true.
We feel unlovable at times. We make stupid choices that led to face-planting with the concrete. We make left turns when we should have made a right because we trusted in our own wisdom.
The sooner we all, the obviously broken and the less than obviously broken, realize that we need a Savior, the sooner victorious healing comes. Why? Because we’ll ask for it! Asking for help takes true humility, which leads to wholeness.
