One of the hardest things to do in life, is swallowing your pride. Repentance isn’t easy, especially if it involves humbling yourself. If we constantly seek God out, and stay faithful to His ways, saying “sorry”, or making right a wrong won’t be so difficult. It only becomes difficult when we stray away from God and get “full” of ourselves. It can be a painful process having to empty an over-flowing cup of “too much me” in order to make room for “a little bit of Him”. Humility is the key. And it something that takes daily monitoring in order to make sure the balance of “me to Him” is adequate.
24 About that time Hezekiah became deathly ill. He prayed to the Lord, who healed him and gave him a miraculous sign. 25 But Hezekiah did not respond appropriately to the kindness shown him, and he became proud. So the Lord’s anger came against him and against Judah and Jerusalem. 26 Then Hezekiah humbled himself and repented of his pride, as did the people of Jerusalem. So the Lord’s anger did not fall on them during Hezekiah’s lifetime.
