St. Teresa of Avilla on humility by e

“We shall never learn to know ourselves except by endeavoring to know God; for, beholding His greatness, we realize our own littleness; His purity shows us our foulness; and by meditating upon His humility we find how very far we are from being humble.”

    What you say here is very powerful to meditate on.
    I was working on this one this morning.. Jeremiah 29:11 ‘For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.’
