God permits us to fall, that we may remember how low we are--so close to the dirt! How easy to forget this, to begin to imagine we are angelic and worthy of heaven when we fix our gaze on heaven and the stars. At the moment of each fall, our God reminds us of our stature, that we may live in the humility that will gain us heaven. For only if we are humble and relying on His grace may we be His bride without blemish!

The word "humility" comes from the Latin word "humus", which means dirt.
