Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time . . .
---1 Peter 5:6
Thank You, Lord Jesus, that You have used this present affliction
to cleanse my soul and bring even such as me
to the nearer edge of the virtue of Humility,
by which I know---this late in life---that Pride spreads a most malign friction,
and all of its false promises are the worst kind of fiction.
