I am a prideful man, but why? All I have is provided by God. Why I am so proud confounds me. I am proud that I am probably related to John Hancock who was the President of the Continental Congress and first to sign the Declaration of Independence. What does that have to do "with the price of tea in China?" In Boston, maybe... but really?! I am creative due to the gift of dyslexia which allows me to envision my projects dimensionally. Did I develop that on my own? Of course, not. God created me that way. I have no right to be prideful of any of "my" accomplishments, yet I am tempted to toot my own horn to whoever will listen. All of my abilities are a gift of God, so why do I desire recognition for what I do? It is that lousy sinful nature rearing its evil head, but in spite of that, God loves me anyway. So, I attempt to deny myself the joys of recognition. When praised I try not to make much of it and play it down. Now, I've the problem with false humility. I do not want to be prideful nor do I wish to portray myself as humble. I should trust God that he will mold this vessel when and as he wishes. I suppose, when complimented I should simply say, "God gave me these abilities. Thankyou for the compliment, but the Glory belongs to God." -----------------
