God blesses the humble person and resists the proud. If I humble myself in the sight of the Lord, he will lift me up. But what is humility? Try to define this yourself, but do not confuse humility with humiliation which is admitting how messed up and weak and foolish I am and being filled […]
People try to handle guilt by: balancing it with blame or minimizing the wrong promising to pay for their wrong trying to balance it with good deeds or by comparing with others whom they deem to be worse etc. etc. They are puzzled by the guilt’s capacity to hang on and weigh them down and […]
Grace is: the free gift from God to me of what I desperately need to deal with the power of sin, but could generate none for myself, but if I now accept it my only reasonable response would be to give him my all. Mercy helps me benefit from the consequences of sin, Peace allows […]
