True Sacrifice, Humility

Psalm 51:17---The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Before God, we cannot be “together.”

Before God, we cannot be proud, or arrogant, or puffed up. Before God, we cannot be selfish.

Before God, we cannot be rude.

Before God, all of who we are is exposed.

Before God, we will be humbled.

Before God, we will fall down.

However, when we fall down before God He will most surely pick us up.

God has a reason for wanting us to be humble and contrite.

For when we are humble and contrite we are then able to listen to God’s wisdom and truth.

When we are able to listen to God in our humility we are then able to become more like the person of love, caring, understanding, and compassion He wants us to be.

On the surface, a broken spirit appears to be a bad thing. However, with God, there is power in His humility.

The power of His humility is the power of God in our hearts molding us and shaping us into His likeness.
