Those are words from Max Lucado's devo. He was talking about climbing too high for our own good. Pride. Has an ugly face.
Many ways I got a lot of pride. Even to prideful to let God help me. A lot of the time I feel like my soul is in mourning. Led myself astray and can't find the way back. I'm trying and trying.
I jus don't know how or where I'm lost.
It's frustrating to a point where sometimes I want to give up. But my conscienceness grips me so hard, that I don't give up. And I won't give up.
Trust is simple, but so hard.
Been learning more about what humility is. Still don't understand it at the same time. I'm trying hard to be humble. Trying so hard to be "good".
Think there's a key word in there, "trying", jus trying too hard.
I feel tired. Spiritually. Energy is kicking at 1.
Well, keep me in your prayers.

Hey Jo-jo! I heard a neat explanation of humility just yesterday...it made sense to me because I find myself trying too hard sometimes too. Humility was described as a horse being broken. When a rider wants a horse to race on, he won't necessarily choose the strongest or the fastest. Instead, he wants a horse that's been broken. In other words, trained to be completely obedient to the instructions of the rider. In the same way, for us to be humble, we must be completely surrendered to the authority of God. Pride comes in our own strength, but being humble means being broken, and 100% devoted to the loving One instructing us. Humility isn't putting ourselves down; it's putting God up and saying we will surrender completely and fully to his will. Keep on! I am praying for you!
