THE LESSON TAUGHT

Recently God put me in the position of many others who depend so much on others. I had fallen twelve feet and landed on the concrete floor and hurt my back as well as my pride. God humbled me and made me think about the elderly, the homebound, and all the things I said to my mother, who depends on me. The words that were told to me, I did not want to hear. I knew what I was supposed to do and I didn’t need to be told what I should or should not do. I could see and hear myself saying these things to my mother. Being put in this position has brought God even more to mind with prayers and thanking him for looking out for me because I am not dead or paralyzed, or have any bones broken and sticking out. God has slowed me down and put things into perspective about caring for others in need of help. I had to let go and let others step in to help out. I had no choice. I was unable but still wanted to do it. I had to surrender to God and to others. I know how others feel. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Has God humbled you lately? What did you learn?
