    God values humility and is drawn to those who earnestly offer themselves to Him. We must practice honest self-talk, intentional self-awareness, and adopt an "Us for Them" mindset to embrace humility in our lives.

     | 4,028 views

In our culture this is a time of getting psyched up for a new year of doing our best, setting some ambitious goals, trying harder, putting our best foot forward.
