Surrender to Humility
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.—James 4:10 (NIV)
As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.—Matthew 9:9 NIV
In the above verse, Matthew leaves his sinful ways behind to follow Jesus. This passage shows that Jesus came to those who needed His help to right their ways. He did not come to the righteous. He went to those in need of His love and mercy.
Lord, I will follow You all of the days of my life.

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.—James 4:10 (NIV)

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.—Galatians 5:22–23 (NIV)

Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.—1 Corinthians 15:58 (NIV)
