...For gold is tested in fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of humiliation." --Sirach 2:4-5
Ah, what a blessing is humiliation! It is the gift that fells pride, that vice from which all others come. The only road to humility is through humiliation-- with gratefulness should we bear this cross! Grateful that God should think us worthy to keep us from the sin of satan, that He should think us worthy to share in His own crown of thorns! With confidence we turn to Him in these moments, supreme confidence in our own smallness and His incomprehensible greatness!
Faith and steadfastness in God will bring about infinite changes in your life. Be not afraid! Do not cower before the trials, do not shrink from the challenge of becoming your true self! Embrace these changes, become who He created you to be, that He may know you in eternal life!
