Confessing my Pride doesn't make me Humble...

When (...not if...) I am confronted with pride in my life...when I recognize it, confess it, and even repent of it, turning from it, I dare not confuse that with true humility. All of that is merely a necessary step in the right direction.  I will never attain to true humility while my eyes are fixed on me.

Rather, true humility begins when I see God for Who He is...when I am confronted with, and recognize Him for Who He is, and then, as a result of having seen Him, I become honestly aware of...reminded of, who I am in light of Who He is...

Therefore, walking in true humility requires that I walk with my eyes continually fixed on Jesus...
