Humility in times of greatness and troubles alike

 "¹If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, ²then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. ³Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. ⁴Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
 ⁵Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
 ⁶Who, being in very nature^[a] God,
      did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
 ⁷but made himself nothing,
      taking the very nature^[b] of a servant,
      being made in human likeness.
 ⁸And being found in appearance as a man,
      he humbled himself
      and became obedient to death—
         even death on a cross!
 ⁹Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
      and gave him the name that is above every name,
 ¹⁰that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
      in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
 ¹¹and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
      to the glory of God the Father."

Philippians 2: 1-11

In times when everything is going amazing and you feel very blessed. Be humble, and praise the one who is in charge. Also, in times of heart ache and feelings of hopelessness, be humble and praise the one who is in charge. He does not create evil, but instead is the opposite. However, we have the free will to act as we please, and that is the source of awful times. I am trying to find peace in the fact that someone bigger is in charge and that life is bigger than we see it. 

Sincerely,

-A seeker
