One among many. Not greater or less than, but one of the heard. It is only in the last decade or so that I really grasped what humility is. I definitely understood humiliation and had plenty of experience in that and wanted no more of it. My brand of humiliation was fear of looking stupid, not in control, or less than. The lack of humility, interestingly enough, that I practiced was actually the same–I was the “less than” type. I never thought enough of myself to think I was better than others except perhaps in individual instances. Even when I had those experiences I would quickly judge them as me being prideful and condemn myself for thinking that way. One could say I kept my ego in check out of fear of not meeting some religious or spiritual ideal. Looking at it now I see just how exhausting of an experience it was to live like this–no wonder I was looking for something to blot out my reality. The truth is that neither being less than or more than is who I am nor who you are. God doesn’t create us with a measurement stick. God doesn’t bestow more love upon some than others. God simply creates out of love and we are a result of that. The humility comes in recognizing that our ego’s view of deserving versus undeserving is all made up. The truth of love is that it is there for anyone who chooses to follow its path. The truth of love is that there is more than enough to go around. The truth of love is it sees who we are and still is LOVE. GOD is LOVE. We come from GOD. We are LOVE. Each day is an opportunity to learn the lessons of love and live fully who we are. My prayer for us today is that we be open to humbly recognizing who we truly are and walk in that truth versus the one that our ego made up. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
