Low on the Go!

redefinition.

i was JUST about to write a post about how some people just need to man up, stop being immature and get organized....you know, a rant, because i was feeling particularly un-spirit-filled after a long day.

but then, "some people" called to apologize and when i hung up, i was left really humbled and impressed. most of the time, judging and being critical comes so easy. Humility does not. And yet, in witnessing someone else's act of humility, i was humbled.

i don't know.

i think my picture/definition of maturity is skewed, because i far too often prize the wrong things, when really, it takes a real man (or woman) to humbly step down and admit fault.
it takes even more maturity to admit that fault could have occurred, when there was no grievance that occurred in the first place.

i guess that's what makes Jesus so special. Not only was there no grievance on his part; he stepped down and took the beating for OUR faults and grievances.

tonight, i was impressed, because someone apologized for something, when there was no real grievance in the first place. in fact, if there was any grievance, it was my own unregenerate and prideful heart, which sadly prizes tasks above people.

tonight, this person reminded me of Jesus and His great abundance of humility and grace.

i think i have a lot to learn from my friend.

i think i need to redefine, in my mind, what being solid REALLY means.
