I have a theory: as we grow in holiness, we grow in humility. This holiness is much more than moral choices. It is a character transformation that the Lord makes in us. Others can experience these qualities in our lives, but they remain hidden from our sight.

For ourselves God gives us indicators of His presence in our life by an increased awareness of our unworthiness to be the recipient of His mercy simultaneously combined with the reassurance that He delights to give us this mercy. On-going repentance (i.e. turning from sin to receive His continual offer of Life) and compunction (i.e. feelings of sorrow for lost moments of receiving His salvation in our lives) are the actions and attitudes we find formed in us.

Much more can be written about this. In the future, I hope to post more thoughts.
