Pride builds walls.
Humility builds bridges.
One isolates. The other connects.
One defends. The other heals.
When difficult people cross your path,
Don’t just brace for impact—
Lean in.
It might be divine alignment.
Not punishment, but refinement.
Not distraction, but direction.
God often sends the abrasive
To polish the rough edges in us.
And sometimes, through our humility,
He delivers the proud.
You see, the battle isn’t just about surviving offense—
It’s about stewarding purpose.
Every encounter is a thread in God’s tapestry.
Miss the thread, and you risk missing the design.
God’s plan is not random.
It’s for your welfare.
Your future.
Your becoming.
And pride?
It’s the parasite that feeds on self-preservation.
It resists correction.
It fears exposure.
But humility disarms it.
Humility doesn’t mean weakness.
It means wisdom.
It means choosing peace over pride,
Purpose over ego,
Healing over retaliation.
So when the proud rage,
You don’t retaliate.
You reflect.
You respond with grace.
And in doing so,
You become the bridge God walks across
To reach the unreachable.
Because humility doesn’t just build bridges—
It becomes one.
