One day in one of the villages there was a man covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus he fell down before him in prayer and said, "If you want to, you can cleanse me." Jesus put out his hand, touched him, and said, "I want to. Be clean." Then and there his skin was smooth, the leprosy gone. ~The Gospel of Luke

The Power of Humility
The quiet evening was jarred by an earth-shattering explosion,
Rattling windows up to four blocks away.
In another, more eternal realm, the explosion was not only heard
but understood, better than on the small planet.
Like a potent chemical reaction, humility when it clashes
with pride, stubbornness and self-pity, reacts violently.
Only when the dust settles after all the pieces of fractured ego have fallen, can the painful healing process begin.
Confession always precedes healing!
“Lord, I admit to my stubbornness and self-reliance.
I believe in Your Word and in Your promises.
I will walk in these promises with Your
Guidance and direction.”
This heart, crippled by years of doubt and pride, will
now walk in the confidence of Your Spirit.
