When things are going well in life, one’s mood will tend to become more talkative. Reveling in the good times promotes conversation, chatting about the blessings God has bestowed upon you. However, as the tide turns, bringing in trials, turmoil and suffering, joy quickly leads to silence.
He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way. – Psalm 25:9
Like seasons of change, humility is a natural way of purging any arrogance or pride inside the human soul. Yet, when unfortunate events linger beyond a normal period of time, hearts become troubled. While tongues may speak of their misery, the sound of good news is a distant memory.
For when they are humbled you say, ‘It is because of pride’; but he saves the lowly. – Job 22:29
Wounded souls often withdraw, waiting for something positive to discuss. If nothing approves, the pain inside will scream out through body language. Unless family, friends or strangers are observant, depression will form, creating a downward spiral. Inside any humbled heart, patients long for healing, hoping humility will be replaced by love, joy and peace. May this blog inspire to reach out to the humbled hearts which surround you.
