The reading for today
"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened,
and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,
for I am meek and humble of heart;
and you will find rest for yourselves.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden light."
Humility.
It is so easy to fall into arrogance. So easy to imagine that you are "irreplacable". For me, it is a constant struggle to remind myself that I don't really count for that much in the grand scheme of things while also realizing that my actions do, in fact, have eternal consequences. It is a difficult balancing act.
