The Liberation of the Soul
My Lord spent His life to draw me out of me, that I could be in Him and He too in me.
Eight humble thoughts to grasp Calvary's work of freedom to my soul and then my body:
- Pride opens the mouth while wisdom keeps it closed
- Wisdom is the home of humility, and humility is the roof of wisdom
- Humility is the vault of honor
- Humility is not the concealing of error but rather its confession
- Humility repels the assaults of pride, as a raincoat repels rain
- Humility wars to take every thought captive to the Lord Jesus
- Humility is becoming what you have despised and so realising that you were wrong.
- The perfection of humility is the knowledge of truth. ~ Bernard of Clairvaux
When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. (Proverbs 11:2)
There is a pleasant salve, a liberating caress to any soul when its balm is first humility.
Pride is the fearsome bondage to self, but in humility there is a peace-filled liberty.
O Lord that my heart may no longer be drawn to pride, nor it savor such wicked thoughts. Amen
