“But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: ‘God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.'” — James 4:6
Grace and humility go hand in hand. God freely gives grace, but a humble heart is positioned to receive it. When we humble ourselves, we acknowledge our need for God’s guidance and mercy. Pride blocks what God has for us, but when we are humble, He opens the door for His blessings to flow in our lives.
Jesus demonstrated the perfect example of humility. Though He was God, He humbled Himself to serve others. Because of this, God exalted Him. Likewise, when we walk in humility, we position ourselves under God’s grace. This allows us to experience His strength, favor, and blessings in-rans every area of life.
Grace and humility also help us extend kindness to others. When we recognize our own dependence on God, we become more patient and forgiving. Instead of seeking personal recognition, we desire to reflect His love. This shift in perspective brings peace and deeper relationships knowing that we are Living as an Instrument of God’s Grace.
As we embrace humility, we must remember that it does not mean weakness. Instead, it means surrender—choosing God’s way over our own. The more we rely on Him, the more we experience His unmerited favor. When grace and humility shape our hearts, we walk in divine strength and purpose.
