Every man looks

To justify himself and his desires

But the humble recognizes his inability

To fully grasp the mind of God

But searches it out

With great fervor

Man is always trying

To justify himself

His desires, his passions, his preferences

And justify himself in his own mind

And before God and man

But who will look to Me and say

“Rewrite me”, “Show me your ways  ”

“Judge me”, “Correct me”

“Refine me”

“Change me to your likeness”

And then act on it to search

Out My heart fervently

With ravenous desire

Humility, meekness, 

Weakness?

There is treasure

Hidden in the spiritually un-arrogant

Who will refuse to judge

Another’s servant

Earnestly desire the Lord

            Search His face

And he is found.

The humble is a listener

            Not a justifier
