We know that God‘s Word declares how He loves to give grace to the hum-ble. We should pursue humility because it ushers grace into our lives, andalso because it exudes the fragrance of Christ. Humility is Christ‘s language.

Lord, root out my pride. Remind me once more that everything I have is grace from You. And as I humble myself before You, I long to experience more of Your grace so that, in turn, I may give You all the glory. In Jesus’ name, amen. - P37
