Lessons in humility can be learnt in various situations in life. It could be your job, relationships or even friendships. The reason many a times we get hurt is because we have a lot of expectations from one another. We set a standard as to how a certain person should behave or respond. So when they don't, we are hurt.
I love making new friends, having a lot of friends and hanging out with friends. But sometimes that can become an idol too. So God being my loving Father and my best friend, showed me my own heart and many sinful areas I would have not noticed it, if a certain situation had not taken place. I expected to have been treated in a certain way- which of course I was not-hence all the pride oozing out.
The moment you think you are doing pretty fine in your Christian walk (and this confidence is from self most of the times and not from depending on the Holy Spirit) Christ very lovingly will bring in situations or convict you from scriptures that apart from Him we are nothing. I know I have lost a lot of things last year. Its probably been one of the most toughest years in my life, be it relationships, my job or even friendships. But I'd rather be here, totally broken and dependent on the Lord for every area of my life, than having it all together in my own strength.
