A few months ago, while I was working, I was approached by a young girl, probably 16 years old. She walked, talked and moved just like a zombie. She came straight up to me and did not blink at all as she came over to me with her eyes wide open and looking directly at my eyes. She looked like she was in a trance. She said, “Do you have any beer?” I simply said, “No.” She then continued to walk away in her zombie-like form.

I was totally surprised that someone could allow them-self to lose their composure so much that they could actually resemble the walking dead. I remember thinking to myself, “Wow, she's crazy.”

It wasn't long after that that I started thinking that I could take advantage of her. I could easily buy her some beer and have my way with her. I was basically thinking, “Get the crack-head some crack and then you can do whatever you want with them.”

A few minutes of me running ideas through my head, (considering what I could do if God's grace wasn't in my life) I came to the conclusion that I am very much like her, just much worse. She is pathetic, no doubt, but harmless. My zombie-like cravings don't just harm me; they harm and even destroy others.

She is just a harmless little girl. I am an animal.

The bible says that God tests men “so that they may see that they are like the animals.” Ecclesiastes 3:18.

Though I would love to think that she's crazy, in humility, the heart revealing truth which God offers is that we are just like her if not worse. We may be able to compose ourselves better in public, but we all are being revealed by God every day from heaven that we are just like animals. Amen, right? This is great. 

This is humility for us on a silver platter, daily.

If God is not revealing to you that you are like the animals, then your relationship with God is either lame or non-existent. Now, if God is revealing you to yourself, why don't you share it freely/openly with others if you actually do delight in things that are humbling?
