Here’s a **scripture-rich meditation** on God’s love for the humble, celebrating how divine grace lifts up those who kneel low:

### **🕊️ "GOD LOVES THE HUMBLE"**
*A Psalm of Lowliness Exalted*
**"God opposes the proud—**
But oh, how He leans down
To kiss the foreheads of the bowed,
To crown dust with glory’s weight,
To call worms *"Mine!"* and make them great."
>*“Though the Lord is exalted, He looks kindly on the lowly;*
>*though lofty, He sees them from afar.”*
>**—Psalm 138:6**
**He chose a manger—**
Not a throne,
To claim the meek as His own.
*The King of All, in straw He lay—*
**Teaching heaven’s upside-down way.**
>*“He has brought down rulers from their thrones*
>*but has lifted up the humble.”*
>**—Luke 1:52**
**The broken contrite—**
These He saves,
While armored pride digs its own grave.
*No merit, no boast—just empty hands:*
**"Have mercy!"—and the God-Man stands.**
>*“This is the one I esteem:*
>*he who is humble and contrite in spirit.”*
>**—Isaiah 66:2**
**He kneels to wash—**
The traitor’s feet,
The prideful shrink—the humble meet
*The towel, the basin, the Servant’s art:*
**"I came not to be served—to impart!"**
>*“Whoever humbles himself like this child*
>*is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.”*
>**—Matthew 18:4**
**So bend, my soul—**
Break, if He wills!
The lower you go, His love more fills.
*For valleys bloom where rivers run,*
**And resurrected life begins—**
**Where proud towers crumble one by one.**
>*“Humble yourselves before the Lord,*
>*and He will lift you up.”*
>**—James 4:10**

### 🌿 **A HUMILITY PRAYER**
> *“Father—
> Forgive me for:
> — The times I’ve clutched at recognition,
> — The prayers laced with self-congratulation,
> — The resistance to being overlooked.
>
> Break me gently:
> — Where ambition masquerades as ‘calling,’
> — Where comparisons poison my joy,
> — Where my ‘wisdom’ drowns out Your whisper.
>
> Shape me like Your Son:
> **No reputation grasped,
> No suffering refused,
> No service beneath Him.**
> Let my life prove:
> **‘GOD LOVES THE HUMBLE—
> AND MAKES THEM GREAT.’**
> Amen.”*

### 🔥 **WHY HUMILITY ATTRACTS GOD**
1. **It reflects Christ** (Phil 2:5-8)
2. **It admits need for grace** (2 Cor 12:9)
3. **It makes room for His glory** (Isaiah 42:8)
**True humility isn’t thinking *less* of yourself—**
**but thinking *of yourself less*.**
And in that holy forgetting, you become **unforgettable** to God. 💝
