Meta: If someone offers to help you out, do you say 'no' to the help offered in order to not make yourself appear weak?  May God humble us of our pride.

00:00:01,066 --> 00:00:04,995
Well, what are some byproducts of good works

2
00:00:04,995 --> 00:00:07,634
and good deeds?

3
00:00:07,634 --> 00:00:12,247
One of the byproducts is humbling of pride.

4
00:00:12,247 --> 00:00:14,327
It humbles me to serve you.

5
00:00:14,327 --> 00:00:16,668
It humbles you to serve me.

6
00:00:16,668 --> 00:00:19,779
It humbles me to be served by you.

7
00:00:19,779 --> 00:00:21,283
Have you ever met someone that was

8
00:00:21,283 --> 00:00:24,197
too proud to receive help?

9
00:00:24,197 --> 00:00:27,154
It's a humbling thing to have someone come

10
00:00:27,154 --> 00:00:30,268
and want to help you, just out of love for you

11
00:00:30,268 --> 00:00:31,682
to do something for you.

12
00:00:31,682 --> 00:00:35,728
They don't want to be paid like a worker

13
00:00:35,728 --> 00:00:36,997
or an employee.

14
00:00:36,997 --> 00:00:38,779
They just want to help.

15
00:00:38,779 --> 00:00:41,142
Well, it's kind of a humbling thing.

16
00:00:41,142 --> 00:00:43,913
I'm humbled to have you come and help me.

17
00:00:43,913 --> 00:00:47,955
And, so the humbling of pride is a byproduct

18
00:00:47,955 --> 00:00:49,742
of doing good works and good deeds

19
00:00:49,742 --> 00:00:51,355
for one another.

20
00:00:51,355 --> 00:00:57,193
It humbles the person that is giving the help.

21
00:00:57,193 --> 00:01:01,185
They want to come under and help out in whatever they can.

22
00:01:01,185 --> 00:01:03,237
It humbles the person receiving it,

23
00:01:03,237 --> 00:01:05,530
to have someone come and help.

24
00:01:05,530 --> 00:01:08,037
Have you ever tried to help someone

25
00:01:08,037 --> 00:01:09,981
and they woudn't receive it?

26
00:01:09,981 --> 00:01:12,113
"I don't need any help."

27
00:01:12,113 --> 00:01:15,474
Instantly, you can see the pride there, right?

28
00:01:15,474 --> 00:01:16,748
And you men -

29
00:01:16,748 --> 00:01:19,826
your wife asks you to carry the groceries in

30
00:01:19,826 --> 00:01:21,659
or something like that.

31
00:01:21,659 --> 00:01:23,073
And what do we always try and do?

32
00:01:23,073 --> 00:01:25,926
We try with both arms with bags full;

33
00:01:25,926 --> 00:01:28,994
we try and hang things from our fingers,

34
00:01:28,994 --> 00:01:31,089
and we try to get it all in one trip

35
00:01:31,089 --> 00:01:33,551
because we're proud men, and she says,

36
00:01:33,551 --> 00:01:35,321
"Let me get the door for you,"

37
00:01:35,321 --> 00:01:37,326
"No, I don't need any help."

38
00:01:37,326 --> 00:01:38,666
Right?

39
00:01:38,666 --> 00:01:40,112
"No, I got it, I got it."

40
00:01:40,112 --> 00:01:41,508
And we're juggling everything around

41
00:01:41,508 --> 00:01:44,445
and we drop the gallon of milk on the floor

42
00:01:44,445 --> 00:01:45,666
and make a big mess.

43
00:01:45,666 --> 00:01:48,265
Why? Because we were too proud

44
00:01:48,265 --> 00:01:51,145
to receive help from someone.

45
00:01:51,145 --> 00:01:52,147
And we're like that.

46
00:01:52,147 --> 00:01:54,986
And we all laugh, but we're like that.

47
00:01:54,986 --> 00:01:56,876
I know I am.

48
00:01:56,876 --> 00:01:58,905
That's why we never look at the map, men,

49
00:01:58,905 --> 00:02:00,986
when we go out some place.

50
00:02:00,986 --> 00:02:02,131
We're too proud.

51
00:02:02,131 --> 00:02:03,484
The wife gets the map out

52
00:02:03,484 --> 00:02:04,973
and she says, "well, maybe you ought to be..."

53
00:02:04,973 --> 00:02:06,952
"I don't need that."

54
00:02:06,952 --> 00:02:08,695
"I got it, I think I'll just turn up here."

55
00:02:08,695 --> 00:02:13,024
We're too proud to receive help.

56
00:02:13,024 --> 00:02:17,629
And so we need to be humbled that way.
