Humility and It's Role In Revival

I have found this chapter to be extremely helpful for my personal life.  I really enjoyed how the author stated in the first few pages what humility is NOT.  On page 57 the author says some very important things that he states.....

1. I am deeply flawed and sinful, yet I am loved and valued by God
2. I cannot earn God's favor but have received it as a gift.
3. I have been cleansed and forgiven for all of my sins and am a child of God.
4. God has given me certain gifts and abilities that I willingly surrender to His service.
5. I desperately need God's resources
6. I am part of the body of Christ and must depend on and value the gifts and abilities of others.

In terms of revival we need to recognize these things, we also need to recognize that God is close to the humble and low in heart.  We see this example of humility first hand with David Brainerd starting on page 60.  I would suggest re-reading his journal entries, if you have time.
Coming from experience and still learning I want to encourage you reading this that humility is vital to our Christian walks, the fact is Jesus, our Lord, humbled himself to the point of death.  If you have a chance and your bible is near read Isaiah 6 and you will get a clear picture of Jesus, and then you realized that He gave up EVERYTHING for us.
Continue to read this guys and find "Nuggets" as i like to call them, use a highlighter and pen and mark up this book, so you can come back and remember what jumps out at you.
