Humility

Envy, jealousy, and pride are
marks of carnality.

Humility is the mark of
spirituality.

Humility and carnality cannot
co-exist.

When we reach the place that we
are willing to see the abatement
of our kingdom for the advancement
of God's, we have experienced true
humility.

John the Baptist declared such when
he said, "He must increase, I must
decrease."

Only when we lose do we win in the
Kingdom of God.

God helps the humble and resists the
proud.

We should approach God as the publican,
with head bowed low, not feeling as if
we are worthy of anything.

We can do nothing without God. We may
plant, we may water, but only God can
give the increase.

Of what value is planting or watering
without an increase?

In these last days, let us strive to
be humble and spiritual.

Great post. I've been thinking of the same thing lately.

By the way...have you talked your lovely wife into starting her own blog yet? :)
