As human beings we naturally desire to transcend our natural circumstances and rise to greatness; the human spirit is created for excellence.
The first step toward our personal holiness is to humbly accept that we are totally dependent on God.
Every child knows that he is dependent on his parents so,likewise, we must recognize our dependence on God.
Lord Jesus, grant me true humility. As I come before you to pray, help me to remember that I am a creature and that you are my Creator.
Do with me what you will.
