The Humbling
I wanted an answer, I needed an answer. I asked God. I prayed and prayed, but the answer never arrived. Years went by and then old age and passing. I had a question for God now and I was going to get my answer! An Angel approached me and I just had to ask, "Why didn't God answer my prayer?" He reached down and gently took my hand. He rolled back time many years and stopped at a particular place. There I saw myself standing and talking with someone I once knew. I looked up at the Angel and said, "I remember that guy, I was always way better and smarter than him!" As I was proceeding to tell the Angel how far beneath me this guy was, he reached down and covered my mouth and told me to listen closely. Then I heard it! From the mouth of this man that I had always looked down upon was spoken the answer that I had sought! How could this be? God did answer my prayer and probably more than once! I didn’t hear it! I couldn’t hear it! I wouldn’t hear it all because of my pride!
