Today I heard the words that being humble does not mean we need to stoop. Yes, we can bow to God as Jesus exemplified in his praying to his Father but that does not mean stooping in a dejected and debased way. We bow because we acknowledge the supremacy of the person we are bowing to. Even in our humility we can stand erect to our full height, acknowledging both our limitations and our strengths, thanking God for who we are. Whilst on earth Jesus never said, 'Woe is me. I am a worthless man". Neither need we. As sinners we are unworthy of being in God's presence but we are not worthless. We are all precious to God; His Son Jesus takes us into His presence.
