The humble child / Proverbs 29:23
------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------
The Russian writer Tolstoy once said, "No one is stronger than the humble.
The humble person leaves himself and is with God. said
If you act humbly, no one will look down on you or be ignored. Since ancient times, most of the heroic hogirls who have stood above others and dominate others have become such rulers because they are humble.
Once upon a time, a widow lived with her ill-behaved son. This son was arrogant and did only bad things for others.
His mother always wanted her son to be humble and good, but to no avail. Unexpectedly, the mother took her son to the front of the pillar next to the gate. And put the hammer and the nail in front of your son, and in the future, every time you do something bad, drive a nail into the pole. Each time, I'll give you a penny as a prize. said
Hearing this, the son thought that it would be easy to do so. He also wondered if he would not be able to grant his mother's wish, but on the other hand, he promised to do it because he thought it would be fun to do so.
From that day on, whenever he did something bad, he started to drive a bad dog into the pole. Soon after, the pillars were nailed tightly together.
Looking at this, the son shed tears of regret as he thought that he would have committed more sins in the eyes of others because there were so many, even counting only what he realized that he had done something bad.
One rainy day, the son looked back on the things he had done for himself in the past, and regretted that it was nothing but bad things in the past. And I realized that the cause of doing that bad thing is that I do bad things because I have a proud heart.
For the first time in his life, he shed tears as he repented of his own sins. It was painful to sit down, painful to stand, and painful to lie down, so I went to see my mother. Then he went to his mother and wept, asking for forgiveness for the mistakes of the past. Sleep while comforting your mother! If you realize your mistake, you can do better in the future. From now on, every time you did something wrong in the past, you should pull out one nail that you put into the pole in the future for every good deed! said
From that day on, my son has changed. Everyone was surprised when he treated people with such humility. And by choosing only good things, I became a person who served others without taking care of myself. After a while, all the nails that filled the pillar fell out. His heart rejoiced when all the nails were pulled out. But what was heartbreaking was that the nail marks where the nails were nailed remained.
It is said that once he did something wrong, he realized that it did not heal completely and left traces, and as if to compensate for it, he was more humble and tried to do good. (later a great worker)
Everyone! In the Bible, the Word of God, pride is humbled and humble is exalted. I hope that you too will lead a humble life and become high people.
