Grace for the Humble
God gives grace to the humble.
~ James 4:6
"Humble hearts seek grace, and therefore they get it. Humble hearts are grateful for grace and give the Lord the glory of it, and hence it is consistent with His honor to give it to them.
Come, take a lowly place. Be little in your own esteem, that the Lord may make much of you. Some are proud of being humble, and this is one of the very worst sorts of pride.
We're needy, helpless, undeserving, creatures; and if we are not humble, we ought to be. Let us humble ourselves because of our sins against humility, and then the Lord will give us to taste of His favor. It is grace that makes us humble, and grace that finds in this humility an opportunity for pouring in more grace. Let us go down that we may rise. Let us be poor in spirit that God may make us rich."

| God sees all things that go unrecognized by people, so he crowns those who are so deserving of His glory and Honor, He crowns them, with His personal Crown, which sends off a certain glow around you, because you have been blessed by our Father with the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Given God the glory and honor that He is so deserving of. Most of all do all things that you do, do it with love. Jesus was a prime example of this when He talked our Father into letting Him come done in human form, to walk the earth in our shoes, so that He could be the final blood sacrifice, so that one day we may have eternal life with Him in the Kingdom of Heaven. |
