OK.... so what is this thing that we all call humility? is it just a bending of pride for a while or is it truly breaking of your own will to be reformed to His will and calling for you?
I've been reading this book from Andrew Murray called "Humility: the beauty of Holiness". it's super short but what is crammed into those few pages is truly mind provoking and as of right now i can only take small doses of it. because that's the only way my mind can comprehend what is being said on the page.
these are the random thoughts.... and a few quotes scattered throughout.
" it is pride that makes redemption needful; it is from our pride that we need above everything to be redeemed."
What is the essence of all His character as our Redeemer? All and nothing but humility, Incarnate Humility.
we are to.....
Give up all the Honor of Men as Jesus did, to seek the honor that comes from God alone.
Have right thoughts of what/ Who Christ is.
How many times a day are we given the chance to practice humility but our pride gets in the way and don't do it? Or our lives are just too busy that when we have to exercise humility we fall flat on our faces because we have no true meaning of what it is and thenceforth don't exercise it properly with the right devotion and reverence of God?
Really.... where are your thoughts?
