“Humility is just as much the opposite of self-abasement as it is of self-exaltation.” Dag Hammarskjöld

Humility gives us a clear appreciation, not only of our shortcomings, but also of the power of God to overcome them. Once we realize that electric tools do not work unless they are plugged in, we just plug them in and start using them. We don’t sit around and bemoan the fact that they are powerless by themselves. Humility does not magnify our failures, it directs us to rise above them by faith. ~“And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us.” 1Jo.5 Conversations Within” ts 10/16/2015
