Humility and Pride

Collaboration by Gordon McConnell and Regina Riddle Signs of humility is so very hard to find so many pump up self think they're swell but they forget God who constantly looks for humble hearts, of themselves won't tell Everywhere there are people caught in pride Focusing on their own self-seeking desires Never thinking of the ways to give tender care Not reflecting on all the things that love requires Look around everywhere to see signs most love self, love others to beat where's humility like Jesus would display? Be last like Him washing others feet Signs of pride in the heart is an easy discovery Most of us seem to know about selfish conceit We look around and see hearts living in defeat Because they most often try hardest to compete

Hi Gina, thanks again for sharing this collaboration with me, it was a joy to do and it would be great to do it again sometime. We wouldn't need to wait for a contest to do it would we? So if we have any particular idea in mind we should do it. Blessings and prayers,Gordon
