DESCRIPTION

D.L. Moody emphasizes the importance of humility in receiving God's
blessings, illustrating that true humility recognizes our need for grace
and seeks to be filled with God's fullness. He contrasts genuine
humility with the false humility that hinders us from accepting God's
gifts, urging believers to embrace the grace offered by God to eliminate
pride and self. The message encourages a heart posture that is open to
God's transformative work in our lives.

Thou shalt never wash my feet. --John 13:8

Whatever hinders us from receiving a blessing that God is willing to
bestow upon us is not humility, but the mockery of it. A genuine
humility will ever feel the need of the largest measures of grace, and
will be perfected just in the degree in which that grace is bestowed.
The truly humble man will seek to be filled with all the fullness of
God, knowing that when so filled there is not the slightest place for
pride or for self. --George Bowen
