humility

"A truly humble man is sensible of his natural distance from God; of his dependence on Him; of the insufficiency of his own power and wisdom; and that it is by God's power that he is upheld and provided for, and that he needs God's wisdom to lead and guide him, and His might to enable him to do what he ought to do for Him."
~Jonathan Edwards

That about sums it up. We are nothing without His power, His wisdom, and His might. We are simply that lump of clay...useless to the world. We have nothing to offer in and of ourselves. But in Him, the possibilities never cease. Only in Him can we truly live for Him. Only when we submit ourselves completely to His hands can we become something beautiful...and He is faithful to mold us, to form us, and to grow us. Pretty amazing if you ask me.
