The Joy of Sharing a Humble Heart
My dear son,
I love the way you notice the effort of those who have worked beside you. As you celebrate something good, remember gladly the hands that helped. Sharing thanks can make your happiness deeper.
Sharing your heart with humble people is better than joining the arrogant to gain a higher place. Pride brings people down, while a willingness to learn helps them honor one another. I hope you find friends who live that way.
Tonight, give thanks for the good people near you. Be a friend who shares credit and listens to advice. As your Father, I want you to enjoy tending relationships in which you both love and are loved.
With all my love,
Your Father
Proverbs 16:18–19
WEB18Pride goes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall.
19It is better to be of a lowly spirit with the poor, than to divide the plunder with the proud.
A short reflection
Proverbs warns that pride and arrogance precede destruction, declaring it better to share humility with the lowly than to divide spoils with the proud.
