Humble Reminders
HUMBLE REMINDERS
Somewhere deep inside we know the truth
all that we are—all that we own is a gift
our drive and wisdom received by our Creator
we take credit denying His generosity—from youth
None of us asked to be born—specified conditions
did not choose our talents—our physical features
nor select our place of birth or language spoken
perhaps productively choosing paths and ambitions
Circumstances or emotions controlling relationship choices
esteeming prestige--status for blessings God has given us
taking pride in our work--displaying accomplishments
advertising abilities with conceited and arrogant voices
As people created we perform as parallel creators
procuring credit denying Gods authority, power—generosity
His love will gently correct us—undo selfish pride
keeping us humble—opening loving arms He awaits us
