Humility reminds us that our position in live is achieved and maintained by the grace of God. Personal candor causes us to recognize that in the ongoing battle that we each face, we need to learn to walk in the Spirit so that we do not fulfill the lust of the flesh (Galatians 5:16). Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 15:10, “by the grace of God, I am what I am…” When we recognize that we do not deserve anything, we will begin to focus on what we have, and recognize that we are indeed very blessed. Take time today to count your blessings, do not compare yourself with others, simply look at what you have and learn to be grateful (Philippians 4:8).
