2010

2010 is the year where I embrace Godly humility in a way that I have never understood before.

I feel God may be telling me that humility is a very important aspect of manhood, but I'm not sure yet quite how those two ideas are connected to each other.

Mulling over this: Jesus' entire ministry is based on humility.

5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
6Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7but made himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
and became obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
(Philippians 2)

Reading The Way of the Wild Heart: A Map for the Masculine Journey. May put up thoughts as I read through it.

Jesus' perfect example of humility, a servant heart. I think the two go together for sure, manhood and humility, at least they should. I'm with you in embracing God's version of what humility should look like, that will take diligence. Thanks for the inspiration.
