In a sermon I heard today, we learned that in order to find peace, we have to “come in second place.” When we put ourselves in front of Christ with our ego, only pain will be found.
“Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less”
C.S. Lewis
This reminds of the a Bible verse found in Exodus 31:2-3: “See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with ability and intelligence, with knowledge and all craftsmanship.” We learn the example that all talent comes from God and should magnify Him.
