This writing was inspired again from my chat with my preacher friend. After a while we came up to a conversation where she said that she’s been in a condition where she felt so very cocky. It was when she got praise from her Bible-Study Lecturer, Mr. Stefan Leks whom is her favorite Catholic Preacher. Mr. Leks said that her sermon in the class is perfect, a.k.a The Best in the class. She got perfect-100 points for that. She is so proud of it because she’s just got praise by someone she adores so very much (I wonder what would happen to her if she got the praise from Jesus hehe… ). After that she has some kind of idea that she is the best and everybody else in the class is just a loser hehe. Thank God she realized it very soon and quickly took over her mind again. Question. Is it ok for us being cocky? Off course not, even satan knows that. But being PROUD of your self? That’s something else. Proud means we value ourselves more than usual without underestimate others. We have to put in our minds that we can be called superior because there are some people whom are called inferior! If there are no inferiors then we are just average. I think God has put proud in us so we can be proud of ourselves IN HIS NAME. For the sake of His glory. So, what should we do when this proud thing becomes too big and uncontrollable? Don’t wait till it turns into cocky-proud. Do like my friend did, seek help for support and PRAY!A Cocky-Crusher prayer: “Dear Lord, I thank You for giving me this beautiful moment where I can taste a small part of the magnificent of Your enormous love. Help me to keep my feet on the ground. Remind me that I am just a small dust on Your overwhelming sea of grace. I am here for You and only because of You. May others see the beauty of Your love instead of the beauty in me… Amen”.
Let’s go out and be proud in Him…
