Humility — what Jesus said we must learn from Him and learning takes practice and time and intentionality — does humility come in silence, in the barely whispered, “I don’t know,” in the saying little and simply listening?
Is humility the only true beauty?
I grieve the words I have spoken, the answers I have written, the quiet I have marred.
For what words carry any weight into eternity except the ones quietly lived? The ones spoken with hands and the silent scars of sacrifice.
There is a time to be silent and a time to speak and we must pray to know the order of things; I can lose track of seasons.
I beg forgiveness for the many words with the many sins… And pray for knees that will bow lower and a face that will touch the ground in hiddenness — for a heart that will forget itself and all its stream of words — so it can simply drink of His.
In the quiet, fading light, I notice it, how the sunflowers seem most beautiful, golden, their all heads bowed low.
Then Jesus said… “learn from me; for I am meek and lowly in heart;and ye shall find rest to your souls…”
