Today there had been so much clerical work at the office…report consolidation, answering phone calls, booking airline tickets for everyone but myself, transmitting document, operating the fax machine, photocopying… the list was endless..

I felt exhausted.

And I pitied myself.

I am not really used to do those things. I used to order people to do things for me, not the other way around. As I placed the receiver back to its cradle after receiving yet another phone call, I couldn’t help but feel injustice at the thought that I can do/perform a task better than most of these people who order me around. It just so happened that I came in much later than they did in the organization.

If an ego is tangible and visible, people would see mine bruised and limp by that fact.

But the gospel today reminds me how God loves humility in us.

As Jesus said in Matthew 18:4, “Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”

I know that the verse is an awakening call for me.

My misery was rooted in pride.

I thank God for reminding me, through the gospel reading that the turn of events in my life are opportunities for me to practice humility and childlike faith…

What a happy thought!

For truly, He loves me dear enough for Him to grant me this chance.

The human side of me might have ruled me early today. But my God has reminded me that I do not exist for myself but for His purpose.

Tomorrow, when I get back to doing the clerical works, I will be doing it with humility.

……And with childlike faith, I simply will worship my God for loving me the way He only can.
