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. 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… for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours…”
–1 Chronicles 29:11 (ESV)
Lord Jesus, thank You for never giving up on me. Continue to deliver me from fleshly pride. Help me to walk humbly before You all the days of my life. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
