1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
Humiliate is to reduce (someone) to a lower position in one’s own eyes or others’ eyes: to make (someone) ashamed or embarrassed.
Humility or humble is to have or show a modest or low estimate of one’s importance.
To humiliate means we are lowering someone else. In humility, we are lowering ourselves. We show our human side. We show our faults. We confess our faults. We work on improving upon our faults. We show we are no better than anyone else.
The only we can come to God is through humility and not because He wants to humiliate us. He wants us to realize we need Him. He wants us to confess our sins. It takes a lot of humility to be able to admit we did something wrong. However, when we do admit them, He is faithful and just and will forgive them. He won’t hold them against us. He will not rub them in, laugh at them, or tell them to everyone else. Nope! He forgives them all.
We are all human and come with baggage and faults. God doesn’t care, He still loves us anyway. He just wants us to recognize the fact that we are human. When we do, we will start recognizing, loving, and forgiving the other humans around us.
Lord, I want to come to you and admit I am human. I am not perfect. I have my faults. With Your love and help, I hope to improve upon them. ~amen
