Humility

Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. This message has always been important to me, and always relevant. But the more i look into it the more i understand. It shows me how much God has really done for me. In the previous verses it says how even when we were dead in our sins, He made us alive. Its amazing what God does for us, as undeserving as we are. The other part that really speaks to me is that its all God. His grace, His gift to me. It wasn't anything i did, nothing i can do, but it was all God!He single handedly saved me from hell. Its humbling to look at this passage when things are going your way and "you're" doing these amazing things for God, and life's just peachy.....you step back and realize you did absolutely nothing....God simply used the foolish thing to confound the wise. I'm a prideful person to my utter disguist, humility and meekness are my constant prayers , i get frustrated whenever i act the way i know i shouldn't, i get so mad that i can't fix it.....but i know God will....on His time....by His grace....nothing that i can do lest i boast!
