Embracing Humility: A Path to Divine Presence (05/12/'24) -Statement

Embracing Humility: A Path to Divine Presence When we embrace humility, God appears in our lives. In the quiet corners of our souls, free from pride, we find His presence. Humility, a gentle guide, leads us along the path of Heaven through life's trials and triumphs, opening the way to grace and truth. Humility allows us to be born again, shedding arrogance and self-sufficiency, and emerging anew in divine love. It is a powerful weapon of life, forged in faith, standing firm against our enemies and their spirits. "God created humans to be like God-self" (Genesis 1:27). In a mystery beyond understanding, God-self became man for us, embracing our humanity. If we do not humble ourselves like Him, we will face trouble and be lost in our own making. "For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted" (Luke 14:11). These words of Luke echo timeless truth, reminding us that in humility, we find our place in the sacred balance of being fully known and fully loved. May we all strive to walk this path of humility, embracing the grace and truth it brings. Pastor Steven G. Lee (May 12, 2024)
