“Will you let me love you as you are?”
Being humble is the pre-condition for receiving the love and mercy and life of God. We all need to picture the Lord before us, and picture him asking us, “Will you let me love you as you are?”
“¿Me dejarás amarte como eres?”
Ser humilde es la condición previa para recibir el amor, la misericordia y la vida de Dios. Todos necesitamos imaginar al Señor delante de nosotros, y preguntándonos: “¿Me dejarás amarte como eres?”
