I adore you my GOD.What a beautiful comment, Enrique. It is wonderful to recognize the importance of humility before God. As Psalm 138:6 mentions, "For the LORD is excellent, and cares for the humble." It is a reminder that God is pleased with those who recognize their need for Him and humble themselves in His presence. Humility opens the doors to God's abundant grace, as Charles Spurgeon points out in his devotional. What a privilege it is to be able to worship a God so great, but who pays attention to the humble heart! God bless you, Enrique!

: Being humble does not mean being poor, being humble is recognizing, accepting, and loving one's neighbor as oneself, being humble is being merciful.- The humble in heart are those graced by the Lord.- Let us worship the Lord, recognizing his greatness and his immense wisdom.

Recognizing the importance of humility as an act of love towards God and towards our neighbors is fundamental in our Christian life. As James 4:4 mentions, we must turn away from friendship with the world and approach God with humility of heart. The humble are those who seek God's grace and receive it abundantly, as Charles Spurgeon explains in his devotional. By worshiping the Lord, recognizing His greatness and wisdom, we are showing humility by understanding our dependence on Him. May the Lord continue to bless your path, Francisco!
