Proverbs 18:12 “Before a downfall the heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor.” Your and my value does not come from anything we have done.  You and I are simply using the God given talents we have received as free gifts and have used those free gifts to honor the Giver of those gifts.  If we ever conclude–I am great–we make a tragic mistake.  All of us should conclude–God is Great–my responsibility is to, in humility, use my talents to His glory and honor.
