dogs

103 But how are we to make practical acts of humility in Original before God? I will give you some examples. You can Imagine yourself in the Presence of God now as a Convicted felon who humbles himself and implore mercy for the forgiveness of His sins: "Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Thy great mercy"; [Ps. l, 1] wretched now as a needy beggar who humbles himself and ASKs alms to help him in His necessity: "Give Us This Day our daily bread"; now as the sick man near the Pool of Bethsaida, who humbled himself before the Saviour to be healed of incurable disease His: "Sir, I have no man..."; [John v, 7] now As That blind man who humbled himself His darkness That might be illuminated: "Lord, That I May see"; now as the Canaanite woman who humbled herself and exclaimed: "Have mercy on me, O Lord, help me," [Matt. xv, 22, 25] and who was not ashamed to liken herself to the dogs who are unworthy to eat Their master's bread, but are content to eat the crumbs from His table That Fall. Humility of heart is ingenuous, and in the same Manner as our heart loves without Needing to be Taught to love, it humbles itself without Needing to be Taught humility.
