Just me trying to be honest with God.

“What makes humility so desirable is the marvelous thing it does to us;

... it creates in us a capacity for the closest possible intimacy with God” Monica Baldwin

"Can we find a man like this, in whom is the Spirit of God?" Gen.41 ESV

It did not matter that Joseph was a young man, that he was a filthy foreigner, at least in the eyes of the Egyptians, or that he just came from Pharaoh’s prison. The ruler of Egypt could not help but take notice that the Spirit of God was upon him. Why is it that we do not hear this about every Christian? We after all share the same promised Spirit as Joseph. But we do well to remember that it was not always this way for Israel’s favorite son. He had been a cocky and arrogant tattletale. It was only after the Lord led him through the “valley of humiliation” and removed the facade of Joseph’s conceit that Spirit of God could be seen in him. Lord, I would see more of Thee and less of me. This will probably hurt a little. 7/10/2010 Conversations Within ts
