Humility
Fits me funny—
Like a suit
I would not have
Picked out for myself.
But I trust my tailor.

Note: I have certainly progressed over the years since I penned this thought. I do not find it awkward now. Instead, I see the occasional glimpses of pride and do my best to analyze my own behavior accordingly. At the time I wrote this, I was in a controlling church where I was often accused of “being prideful”, primary as a means of shutting down my critical thought processes. This is not to say that I was never proud at that time, but that the rebukes I got for it were often offered insincerely and for ulterior motives. That served to confuse the issue even more, for I was ever being told that I “think too much” when the exact opposite was the truth! Trying to “be humble”, therefore, by “not thinking too much” is a fool’s errand!
