Humble Me, Without Ceasing

I always pray that God will humble me. But what is humility? It can be defined as an estimate of one's importance or rank. And you know, I can pretty confidently say that I am a more humble person than I used to be. But there were some other words I saw on the page that struck me. One of the synonyms was listed as lowliness. The antonym of humility is pride. I have a more lowly image of myself than I have in the past. I am less prideful. But I still have this pride in my heart and an arrogant side of me that thinks I'm better than most others. Therefore, I am still not humble...

Psalm 34:18-19 ->

Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his steadfast love, that he may deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine.

When you read and start to understand the Word of God, how can anyone dare say that our God does not love us? That he has damned us to sin, to death, to hopelessness? He loves us, wants to bless us, but it's ourselves that isn't able to fathom and receive all of this.

God, I don't need healing, I don't need tongues. I just pray for my heart to grow more and more in love with You, to grow to be more like You, and to be able to love others. Faith and Love, that's all I seek, all I need.
