Verse from Luke

我告诉你们,这个人回家去,比那个倒算为义了。因为高抬自己的,必要降卑;自己谦卑的,必要升高。”(路加福音 18:14)

“I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” (Luke 18:14)

How many times have we behave like that Pharisee? Pharisee said to God: “I thank You that I am not like other men” (Luke 18:11). 
Have you ever compare yourself with others saying u are not like that person, that u are better in your ways?  

May we learn the meaning of humility and live it out in our lives, Jesus has shown us what it means to be humble. 

Lord, 
may we be quick to listen and slow to speak and to judge. 
A proud attitude so easily infects our lives. 
Give us instead a humility that reflects Your heart and love.

We don’t get closer to God by passing judgment on others.
