Humility Changes Things

There is nothing as powerful in a relationship as humility. It is a contradiction, but those who seek power in their relationships will meet with trouble, while those who are humble will find healthy relating. In relationships we must give up our need to be right; we must cultivate the ability to ask and grant forgiveness. We must apologize liberally. “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6).
