Humility Brings Grace

Pride cannot see beyond itself. Pride whispers that if we must accept grace, then we should have it all. Pride hoards the grace of God, as if our sin were so great we could consume heaven’s full supply of grace, when in fact our sins are common to all mankind. Pride causes us to see grace as a zero-sum game, as if God’s kindness to others means less grace for us. But grace is not of this world. It is not scarce. Grace is the stuff of the age to come.
