Gratitude Day 6: Humility



I cannot remove my own shortcomings, but God and Jesus Christ can.

I opened my scriptures the other day and found a slip of paper tucked in the cover with this quote and scripture...

"To be humble is to recognize gratefully your dependence on the Lord- to understand that you have constant need for His support. Humility is an acknowledgement that your talents and abilities are a gift from God. Jesus Christ is our greatest example of humility. He always acknowledged that His strength came because of His dependence on His Father. The Lord will strengthen you as you humble yourself before Him." -True to the Faith

"God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble...Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up."--James 4:6, 10)
