You will never overcome your self righteousness if you continue to believe that God prefers you over other people. The moment you feel entitled is the moment you feel superior and distance yourself from a humble heart that believes God knows what he is doing.

Humility is the only thing that can restore a relationship, when respect has been lost.

Anyone can possess, anyone can profess, but it is an altogether different thing to confess.

Truth was never meant to make you comfortable, unless you stand in the middle of it with acceptance.

God doesn’t give us pain to make us strong. He gives us strength to look inside ourselves and realize we are not innocent victims. When you learn humility, you are no longer a victim because a humble man is not self-absorbed. He seeks to understand why people are hurting him and takes responsibility for his part in their grief. Humility doesn’t dwell with anger or pride, and neither does God.

It is not your talents that make you great, but your decisions.
