Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. James 4:9b
Humility. There are times in life when that's all I have left. The reality of my fallen nature stares back at me every time I look in the mirror. There is no pride, for there is nothing about which I can be proud. Oh, my friends tell me how much they respect my courage to face the demons, but how can I respect one whose heart has been so soiled, who has lived two lives - one seen, another hidden?
Lord, Your Word says You will lift up the humble. I'm going to hold You to that. Meet me here on my knees; I feel like I'm stuck in the mud. Lift me up. Wash me off. Make me new, so You will be glorified.
