Down

" God is making us spell out our own purpose, it is slow work, so slow that it takes God all time and eternity to make a man and a woman after His own purpose."

How little we know of ourselves. We are wrong to say that we know more of ourselves than anyone else. That no one understands us truly, but ourselves. When in truth, God knocks us down and teaches us who we are. He takes this prideful attitude to teach us the very thing we need to know.
I stand on my little pedestal preaching about humility.. How crucial it is and how vacant it is in the church today...
When I am the least humble of all....and He is quick to remind me of that.

You gossiped about this one...now admit you were wrong and apologize. Let go of grudges and forgive. Why do you think you are better than he? 

Down

You feel enlightened and experienced and then a girl years younger puts you in your place with her example of true humility and devotion.

Down

Down and down again He brings me, teaching me about myself. Emptying myself of this person and filling it with more of Him.

You are so quick to accept praise and so reluctant to be wrong. You never admit to being wrong. Love over resent. Compassion over pride. 

Where is your humility? Where is your compassion? The greatest commandment is love, but it is void in your life. 
Oh, where is your devotion? 
Are you more devoted to your self esteem that the One who gave you life? 
You're selfish, unloving, whiny...

 Down

Knock me down until I am nothing. Fill me up until You see nothing but Christ.

" I thought about my ways and turned my feet to Your testimonies."
