“For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation.” Ps.149 ESV
Humility is not so much a virtue to be attained, as it is a truth to be realized. It is a truth we realize about ourselves, apart of which, is that without vital connection to my Creator, all that is good in me has been corrupted into something dreadful. But once we realize this about ourselves, and take the gracious hand offered to us, we become an object of great pleasure to God and of great value to others. The Lord delights in humble hearts because we are never more like Jesus than when we embrace all that God wants to be for us and in turn become all that He desires to be for others in us. There are two sides to a truly humble heart. The first is when we know our need; the second is when we allow Him to meet it. When these two things come together, God is pleased and we will be satisfied. 7/25/2010 Conversations Within ts
Just me trying to be honest with God.
