It's also a reminder that in our own lives we will endure pain and humiliation as well, which help to find peace and happiness beyond the nicer things like success, prestige, praise or just being overindulgent with anything.<br /><br />I once talked to a Priest and he told me "Jesus came to this world to be humiliated". I think he came for much more than that, but what I got from the talk is that sometimes it's better to resist the temptation "to have the last say" in a conversation or argument. Defending ourselves, talking back, smart mouthing -signs of pride- and will not bring any peace to the heart. Sometimes it's better to "let the thorns sink in", put up with the pain of getting our pride knocked down and abandon ourselves in the Love of God, knowing that He knows better and he'll take care of the situation.Leonardo Gomez Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06818955766016125521noreply@blogger.com
