Delicious Humble Pie.....mmmmm....

Humility is the attitude I need to keep in my heart and portray, but somehow I doubt anyone at church actually thinks of Jimmy when they think of humility. The first face that pops up in my mind when I think of humility is sister KM. She doesn’t even have to say anything, she just exudes humility and meekness, yet you can sense the strength of God within her, all at the same time. Admirable, lovable, and respectable. I always have her in my mind, praying she gets all the desires of her heart, because I know someone like her has only the will of God in her heart…..anyways, that’s the thing. If people at our church wouldn’t think of me as a humble servant of God, what do the people at work, home, gym, or any other place where I run into unbelievers think of me? I realized why people don’t necessarily say Hi to me when I walk by them, it’s because I seem like a complete dick. I didn’t really figure this out until someone told me at the gym. I tried to give myself a rather convenient excuse and say that I don’t look all jolly and “greet-able”(not a real word) because I’m not wearing my glasses….??! (it’s better than saying this is just what I look like)

When told of this, my first initial reaction was to get defensive, but I was thinking I didn’t really give a damn what she thought! You know, we cant always walk around looking like we just won the lottery..! Of course I did not think out loud this time. She says I just look mad….which is something I heard about a trillion times since I was in like junior high,(it is what i look like) and the problem is my complete disregard for what is potentially putting poeple off from the holy spirit inside of me.  I don’t allow Jesus inside of me to be revealed. If he is really there, then I would be smiling all the time. I’m hiding him from the rest of the world around me when I’m not at church or fellowship. It’s like I still have some sort of lame pride on being a tough guy or something…..and I’m really not! I like to draw, listen to music, and shop for cleaning supplies and other household products! ;)


I need to let go of all my former self, and exude my true identity.

Self-identity should not be varying in different environments, but always being adaptable and indulgent to the needs of bringing glory to God and love to new and “already saved” souls alike. My true identity is whatever I’m asked of by my inner spiritual conscience, and I know this more often than not, means I would be walking around exuding joy, and not anger.  I want to apologize to you lil missy at the gym.  Next time i see you, i will be smiling.....but i don't think i'm going to go to that gym anytime soon.   :)

God Bless.  (Fervant Love to all)

(couple of verses from last night's message)

"And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins." 1peter 4:8
"Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins." proverbs 10:12
