Humility*
Jesus said, “Those who eat my
flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father
sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because
of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your
ancestors ate, and they died. But the one who eats this bread will live
forever." He said these things while he was teaching in the synagogue at
Capernaum.
When many of his disciples heard it, they
said, "This teaching is difficult; who can accept it?" But Jesus,
being aware that his disciples were complaining about it, said to them,
"Does this offend you? Then what if you were to see the Son of Man
ascending to where he was before? It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh
is useless. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But among
you there are some who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the first who
were the ones that did not believe, and who was the one that would betray him.
And he said, "For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me
unless it is granted by the Father."
Because of this many of his disciples turned back and no longer went about with him. So Jesus asked the twelve, "Do you also wish to go away?" Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and know that you are the Holy One of God."
John 6:56-69

Wash out your ego every once in a while,
as cleanliness is next to godliness
not just in body but in humility as well.

Let me keep my distance, always, from those
who think they have the answers.
Let me keep company always with those who say
“Look!” and laugh in astonishment,
and bow their heads.

* Humility
There are a billion
people in China. It’s not easy to be an individual in a crowd of more
than a billion people.
Think of it. More
than a BILLION people. That means even if you’re a one-in-a-million type
of guy, there are still a thousand guys exactly like you.
