A nudge from Chuck on humility

What Is True Humility?
Adrian Rogers

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He shall lift you up. James 4:10

Have you ever wondered what humility is all about? True humility is not thinking negatively about yourself. It is agreeing with what God says about you. The grace of God will exalt a person without inflating him and humble a person without debasing him. I am what I am because of Christ. In this life, you are not going to be sinless, but as you deal with sin in your life, you can come closer to being free from sin. Sinless? No. Blameless? Yes. As you confess and stay prayed up, you can be blameless.

A word of grace from Chuck

Friends....

I heard T.D. Jakes Sunday preaching on “Who told you?” referring to Adam’s discovery that he was naked. God responded, “Who told you?” He made the point that sometimes we say to ourselves I am not this, or that such as “I’m so dumb” and God answers who told you? or, I’m just a loser...or I’m too old, I could never do that....why am I always this way, etc. We need to get a second opinion: God’s opinion as to what HE thinks of me. Sometimes our mood is governed negatively by what others tell us what we are and how we’ve done something. Get God’s opinion. I was greatly helped by this thought: “Who told you?” Thought you might want to chew on it and see what you can get out of it. Put it into practice: “Who told you?”

“Amazing Grace, how sweet it sounds!”
