The Humble Prayer the Best
Sunday School Times
Luke 18:9-14
And he spoke this parable to certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:…


You can fill an empty jug with clear water from the spring; but it would be foolishness to bring to the spring a jug already full. The Lord has no blessing for the heart that is full of haughtiness; that He reserves for the heart emptied of self. And remember that, after all, it is the worthiest who are the most humble. It is the best filled stalk of corn that bends its head the lowliest.

(Sunday School Times.)
