“God opposes the proud, but shows favor to the humble” 1 Peter 5:5.
Some of us would react very negatively by hearing the word humble. However, it is a very positive word. By being humble before God we simply acknowledge to Him, that what we have got is not our merits but his gift. We have limitations and we need help. Our faith and positive thoughts do have power, but the source that controls all the universal principles that most people try to benefit from is in God. Therefore, do not be proud, but humble yourself before Him. He can help you. He wants to see your faith and optimism, not arrogance. Let God give you a humble heart.
