The opposite of humility is pride. The opposite of kindness is hostility. We all want to be humble and kind. But how do we get there? We must recognize they are gifts from God. Grace is unearned favor….but so many of us can’t receive the gift. We play with the box, but never open the gift. The box is all the trappings of our lives – but until we really open up to what God intends for our lives, we will never receive the gift of grace. Grace is power to do what we can’t do by ourselves. Sins begins with selfishness….we want what we want when we want it. Our “wanter” is in control of our will. Seek God’s will for us all by opening the gift box of the life God intends for us.
