When God Breaks Your Pride...

The most hurtful thing I ever experience in my life is when God breaks my ego. However, it is also the best thing because it has been a bondage breaking experience. God has been teaching me to lower my pride but I kept on ignoring that lesson until I get hurt. Eventhough I was hurt, He still embraced me and whispered to me that He did it because He loves me. Then when I submit, liberation filled my heart.

One instance was when I was out of town for a vacation, I was not feeling well. I played a "hero" that afternoon that made me feel worse in the evening. I was chilling and flu came to my system. At first, I thought I can make it through the night because my ego would tell me that I didn't need any help and I have to be tough. But God reminded me to lower my pride and seek for help. So, to make the long story short, I woke my friend up and she assisted me to feel better. And, true enough, I had a good night sleep.

Lesson learned...pride breaks people and humility liberates people. I would never forget that incident because God has used my physical weakness to learn that hard lesson. I'm just glad that even though He breaks me, He still continues to care for me. Praise God!
