Scripture: Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Within: Do you have a poor spirit? Who gets the glory from your being noticeably poor in spirit? Do I get the glory or do you? So that persons know by whom you have been changed and to whom you belong, continuously say audibly, who has changed you.
Me: I have been changed by the love of God and the grace of my Lord Jesus Christ.
