This is something I wrote down last night while in the library:
'ever had to restrain the urge to roll your eyes? multiple times?! it happens a lot while eavesdropping on conversations.... especially the matter of Praise and Worship...
-You going to Praise and Worship?
--No
-No!? I'll pray for you...
*blech*
-repress rolling eyes now-'
Thinking back on the entire scenario, that was very condescending. To think that I am any better than the person who said this, gosh, what an ego. Humility is something that is in short supply, especially in my life.
Who am I to even think that I am better than the person next to me?
Who am I to think that the people I associate myself with are supreme to all the other people I could spend time with?
To step outside of myself and see that, I felt very ugly. Ugly as a person, as a human-being, as a child of God. How can I even call myself that?... especially after the things that I think about fellow image-bearers?
I'm not down on myself or anything, just a little disappointed... The higher you are, the farther you fall...
