Live humbly, simply, and in the peace of a gentle and quiet spirit.

Humility often begins with an honest appraisal of one’s personal shortcomings. But if we are not careful, we can get stuck on feelings of personal shame and never truly repent and do something about them. Take your sins to the cross, ask for and accept God’s forgiveness, then move forward in the wonderful peace that comes on the path of submission to His will. To sit in shame is just another expression of a self-centered focus and wounded pride. Mourn your sins, but forsake them not bake them in the oven of your hurt pride.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit...those who mourn...the meek--the broken.” Jesus “Conversations Within” ts 4/27/2019
