Two people go to church to pray.

One prays selfishly.

One prays humbly.

But it's not two people, it's one.

That part of us that wants to compliment ourselves on our grand achievements and celebrate our amazing gifts must always find balance with the other part of us that realizes our frailty and constant mistakes.

What are we most aware of today?

Do we realize how golden you are?

Or do we need a slice of humble pie?

The way of Jesus is all about awareness - and balance - knowing who we are, the sweet and the sour.

Sure, our default setting must always be humility, but that doesn't mean we ever forget our voice, our value, or our sparkle.
