"humility isn't just about how we shouldn't boast about our strengths, but also, belittling ourselves and constantly dwelling on how crap we are is also sinning against God. It's coz we're being focused on ourselves, and being sorry for our selves."
Right you are, Melissa. I always used to dump on myself, telling myself I suck at certain things. 'Cause I always figured, 'Hey, it's better than having a big ego, right?' But insulting ourselves is an insult to God as well, because He made us in His image. I think there's a good way to be humble, while still being thankful for the gifts and talents we possess.

Yeah, definitely. Hmm another thing i've been learning is that being humble doesn't equate with being modest, but it's realizing that your talents and gifts come from God =) Thanks for the reminder!

Have just realized that i don't know your name! Can't be going round calling you little yuzu can i, even if it is really cute? =D

[littleyuzu]

Yuzu is one of my nicknames, so some of my friends call me that. You can call me that if you'd like. But my real name is Kat. (^_^)

I think its the small things in life that make us appreciate how we do things and how we live and interact with others is so important!
