There have been seasons in my life when I was so full of myself that there was no room in my world for anyone else. Still, the Lord refused to give up on me. Patiently He worked with me, chipping away at my self-centered pride. Year, after year, after year, until, at last, something of His likeness began to be formed in me. Now I can truly rejoice with those who rejoice even if their achievements dwarf my own.

“Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory…”

— 1 Chronicles 29:11 (ESV)

Lord Jesus, help us to walk humbly before You all the days of our life. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
