December: Remember: Humility

"To be humble is to recognize gratefully our dependence on the Lord - to understand that we have constant need for His support.  Humility is an acknowledgment that our talents and abilities are gifts from God.  It is not a sign of weakness, timidity, or fear; it is an indication that we know where our true strength lies.  We can be both humble and fearless.  We can be both humble and courageous" (lds.org).

The Lord will strengthen us as we humble ourselves before Him.  James taught: "God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble...Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up" (James 4:6, 10).
