humility

1 Peter 5:5-7 "Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

"In today's world, asking for help is considered a weakness. We are taught to be independent and self-sufficient" --EC magazine

^ Yes! And that is me...I guess it's considered pride. I'm not necessarily boasting about myself, but I think I can do it all on my own. The fact of the matter is, I wasn't made that way. We're made to do things together.

1 Peter 5:5-7 talks about how we need to "clothe ourselves with humility". When we humble ourselves it might seem like we get the short end of the stick for awhile, but God will "lift [us] up in due time". If we keep humbling ourselves the way God asks, when the time comes, we'll see what came of it.
There's a verse that talks about tearing down the prideful and lifting up the humble.
--God will do that.
