in the words of stuart scott:

"When someone is humble they are focused on God and others, not self. Even their focus on others is out of a desire to love and glorify God. They have no need to be recognized or approved. There is no competition with God or others. They have no need to elevate self, knowing that they have been forgiven and that God's love has been undeservedly and irrevocably set on them. Instead, a humble person's goal is to elevate God and encourage others. In short, they 'no longer live for themselves but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf' (2 Cor. 5:15)."

of course the Lord would use the little booklet i'm reading for class and my life verse to convict me.

i have so much to repent of today.

Lord, forgive the cliche, but please--

please... be my everything.
