foolish pride

i was just thinking, pride really is soo foolish. 
would you sit back for a moment with me and look at this with me? 


Pride, n: "a high or inordinate opinion of one's own dignity, importance,merit, or superiority, whether as cherished in the mind or as displayed in bearing, conduct, etc."


God: [there is no dictionary definition, so let me enlighten you in my own words.] Jehovah, Yeshua, I Am, Kadesh, Holy, Yahweh, perfect in every way possible. None can even stand up to compare to Him, Every knee must bow. There is none like Him, and there is none that is opposite of Him. He is completely different, completely holy, perfectly beautiful, flawless, mighty, completely powerful...etc etc etc..


NOW. dont you think pride is at least a little foolish and stupid?
us humans, who are so puny and tiny and so small..we think we are alll that and a bag of chips. like we're kings and queens of the universe, and the whole entire world revolves around ourselves and our schedules. 
When really, this amazing God who created us, who is just so perfect and so mighty is here too, wondering when we will wake up. He's already given us sight, but we sit there terrified of anything and everything that is outside of us, that we hug our pillows and shut our eyes and pretend that we dont see. which is the worst part in all of this! is that we pretend that we dont see, and we force ignorance on ourselves! we crawl into our little holes and live life as "normal".


God never said to live like a normal person. we are supposed to be imitators of Christ; did Jesus live a normal life?
i think not. He we all out for us. He died for sinners, He humbled  Himself more and more every second of every day. He spent time with the lepers, tax collectors and prostitutes. 
im not entirely sure what to say now. 
it kind of shocked me today when all of this went through my head. that we have the nerve, really, to be prideful when we're supposed to be  like Jesus, who was perfectly humble, to the extreme.
