James 4:10 says, “Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.”
Humility marks a Christian more than anything else in the body of Christ. When Jesus forgives us, we see the truth of who we are apart from Him versus who we are in Him. Amazingly enough, frail humanity can show God's glory. The greatest glory of a Christian life is not never failing. It's rising every time we fall.
Proverbs 24:16 says, “A righteous man may fall seven times and seven times rise again.” We don't need to walk around with the shame and guilt of our failure. We only need to bring it to the cross of Jesus Christ. When we are humble enough to admit our sins to God, He promises to forgive us, restore us, and let His glory shine again.
It's time to pray.
