The holiest people, the ones most free from impurity, are the ones who feel their flaws the most. The person with the cleanest clothes will notice the smallest stain. The one with the brightest crown will know when they’ve lost a jewel. The person who gives the most light to the world will be the first

to recognize their own darkness. The angels in Heaven cover their faces, and God’s chosen people on earth must also cover their faces in humility when they think of what they once were.

As you grow in humility, seek also to grow closer to God in prayer and more intimate in your relationship with Jesus.

Servants of Jesus Christ, never get discouraged when you face opposition. When things go against your wishes, expect that the Lord has something better planned for you. He’s steering you away from shallow waters and leading you into deeper seas, where

your nets will catch more fish. Like the Israelites, you’ll find that your enemies will become your sustenance: instead of them devouring you, you’ll overcome them. "Be strong, don’t be afraid."
