Over the years, I have been trying to live in Humility. To be humble is not easy as I have found over and over again I am proud. It is okay to have proud moments as long as God gets the Glory. I have been praying the past few months for true humility in my life and I have now seen it while recovering from a recent hip surgery. This surgery has been scheduled for months or even years, yet God has used it to show me how to be humble. It was and is hard for me to ask for help in any situation. But through this disability, I have become closer with my wife, family, and friends as I have to lean on them because I am not strong. God brought me to my knees and each day I thank him for doing so, as now I can grow in Him who strengthens me.
Thank you for sharing, Jordan. I am excited to pray for your hip anreven more--for the powerful way God is using it to accomplish your deep heart's desire to love and trust Him. It is sometimes jarring the route he chooses for getting us to our true desires, but--thankfully--get us there he will.
