Do not trouble yourself with another s honor, but use your tongue only for praising God and for another s benefit and edification. When you are tempted to say something bad, recall those sins you committed from your youth and reproach yourself. For those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, who trust in Him and love Him, it is always bearable. What water is to parched earth, so humility is to the human soul. I am entreating such humility for you from the Lord God, my children, because it will not only deliver you from sin, but it will lead to the love of Him Who humbled Himself unto death, even the death on the cross.
Love covers a multitude of sins.
If you have such love towards the lesser brothers and members of our Lord Jesus Christ, not only will your sins be smoothed away, but you will see the Lord face to face and rejoice for evermore. Exchange your material well-being for slavery to the Lord Jesus Christ. The valleys below are nearly always fertile and fruitful, while the high mountains are for the most part dry and unsuitable for agriculture. Similarly, an ear of wheat which stands with its head up is always empty, whereas the one bent down has many grains. Have a humble heart, and you will be enriched with all that is needed for salvation.
