Humility always goes along with meekness. There can’t be humility if there
is no meekness. More often than not, when somebody isn’t meek, but, instead
he is violent and aggressive, gets angry and wants to be obeyed, why does he
do it? In order to be powerful, and hence to conquer.
Has something happened? Dear man, have no worry. Humble yourself,
repent, run to God. Having undergone this present suffering, learn the
lesson you haven’t learnt so far. God is good and He will forgive you and
you will feel that He forgives you. He will give you repentance and you will
feel this repentance in you.
Why don’t you humble yourself before God, who allows you to suffer
something just to humble your- self?
All the bad habits and flaws we have, leave us through obedience.
