Humility is Hard

Just two days ago I had disrespected my dad. I knew I had hurt his feelings. I said something that left him feeling low and not the best, and it wasn't my intention to hurt him, but I did. I felt really bad about it, but I didn't say sorry. I thought about saying sorry but I thought if I did I would look like a fool. I thought that putting myself lower and admiting I was wrong was gonna make myself look so foolish. Then I thought about how God hates pride, its one of the seven things God hates. Proverbs 8:13 " I hate Pride and Arrogance." I didn't want to do one of the things that God hates...I felt so against God holding that in my heart knowing it was something He hates. So the next day I asked God to help me say I was in the wrong, and He did. I told my dad I was sorry for what I had said, and after we talked for hours and read the bible and we just had a sweet time enjoying eachother and pouring out our hearts to eachother. I love the way that what satan wanted for evil, God uses for Good. God uses all things for Good, a promise for all who love God. Sometimes I forget about Gods promises, or I know them and really forget that they are promises...promises He is faithful to. I have to constantly remind myself of God's promises for my life, and bring them before Him. He is such a beautiful God, so faithful to His word.
