COT:
– Springtime Renewal – clearing away the old and making room for the new
– One of the areas where we can make room is by getting rid of things making us upset in our lives, things that piss us off and consume our emotional and mental energy
– One popular approach is to look at the 3 major sources of upset – some think these are the only sources of frustration or disappointment: – An unmet expectation – something we expect to happen, and it hasn’t
– A thwarted intention – something we intend to do or that we’ve committed ourselves to doing, like a personal goal, and our plans for accomplishing it aren’t going the way we intended, they’ve been blocked or interfered with
– An undelivered communication – some message you need or want to share to someone or multiple people, but that you’ve withheld – Do an inventory of what’s making you upset and which source it comes from.
– Realize you’re in control of each of these sources of upset – what you expect, intend, and communicate are all in your control

COT: Blessed are the low in spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. – Matthew 5:3

Pride is dangerous. Thinking too highly of ourselves is risky and leads to mistakes. lack of self awareness leads to folly and poor judgment.

This is not low self esteem which is in itself a form of pride. This is purposing the value of valuing others ahead of you.
Examine yourself and recognize your need for eternal rescue. Right size yourself in view of an almighty creator.
