Working in a profession that allows me to create small relationships with people comes with wisdom, knowledge, and charisma. Its funny because most of the stories I hear are people who freely share to you about their life lessons and what they wished they did or didn’t do and others who don’t share much to you at all.
I was fortunate to receive some wisdom from a man who wants to share his life lesson. The first thing he said to me was “Be humble.” He was sharing how being humble in his past has led him to a happy life. He said “in my job, although I’ve worked there for 30 years, very hard job, I did it with humility.” He passed this lesson on to his children saying “In whatever you do, be humble.” I can see he was very content.
This is like Paul’s letter to the Ephesians 4:1-6
I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all.
I’m beginning to see more and more our Lord reveals himself through people. What is the Lord asking from me? He is asking me to take on my calling with humility, be gentle with your words, be patient with the people around you, and love them as you love me.
Lord, you are the ultimate giver to love and you are the most gentle person out there. Help me to be humble in everything I do, I ask for more humility, and patience. Amen
