Next Steps:
> Take a moment to think - what does God expose about my heart in the mirror of His Word?
> Next Steps for a rejecting heart - John 8:21-24 - repent and follow Christ!! Humility isn't thinking low of oneself but thinking rightly/truthfully of oneself. Humble yourself and confess your sins to God and to others. Not just the words but the life.
> Next Steps for a receptive heart - finding in Christ our greatest joy and treasure. Humbly serving, sacrificing, adoring Christ, exhibiting a changed life. Romans 5:1-5; James 1:2-4; Ephesians 4:1.
