I love the story about the snake that went to the optometrist for a pair of glasses.
“You can’t wear glasses,”said the optometrist. “You don’t have a nose or ears on which to hang them. And besides, your eyes are in the wrong place. Let’s try some contact lenses.”
“All right,” the snake agreed.
Several weeks later, the snake returned to the doctor.
“Have you been able to see better?” the doctor inquired.
“Yes, I can see fine. But I’m extremely depressed,” the snake complained.
“Why is that?”
“I’ve just discovered that I have been living with a water hose all of theses years.
Clear vision can be painful! Humility is seeing ourselves—both our accomplishments and our failures—from God’s point of view. And such a shift in perspective is not always pleasant! But in humility is where grace flows.
