True Humility
"Blessed are you who are no more puffed up by the good which the Lord says and does through you than you are by what he says and does through others. But sinners are you who want to receive from your neighbor more than you are willing to give of yourselves to the Lord." -- St. Francis, Admonition 17
This has convicted me of my need to express my gratitude to the Lord much more than I do! Love is another area in which we may expect others to give us more than we give the Lord. When we are feeling a lack of any kind in our lives, we should examine our heart to see if it's because we aren't willing to give of ourselves to the Lord for His work.
