You shall be exalted
LMadam,
$llow me a space to throw some pearls of wis dom unto the world at large. $ good writer once said that one should act like they do not have bread while they actually own a whole bakery. /et me stress on humility. , perceive humility as the absence of pride and being selfless. We have probably seen a lot of people boasting about material things and acting all mighty. Tragical ly when those people die they leave all those behind. The bigger question remains is it even worth it to be pompous" *od the creator of all things in the universe put it clear in the book of 0atthew that if we humble ourselves we shall be e[alted. *od cannot take a person to greater heights if they already think of themselves as highly ± esteemed. Talking of *od +e is also the provider. ,t is worth understanding that the very same things that take away humility from us were provided by *od. +e who provides is also capable of taking away. This implies that the material things can perish at any moment and further leave us in disgrace. 3eople so many doors are to be opened only if we know we are not better and superior than others because we shall be e[alted.
