Psalm 25:8 He guides the humble in doing right and teaches his way to the lowly.
I visualize my relationship with God like a Venn diagram with the overlapping area being where I am in God and God is in me. There is still plenty of me that is quite un-Godlike and plenty of areas in which God is very unlike me. God is omnipotent, almighty, and all-merciful, and, well, I am not.
Why would I seek to become more like God if I think I already am God? To be taught, one must be humble.
MOVING FORWARD: What does your Venn diagram look like? Draw it out and be honest. Are there places in your relationship with God that need reshaping?
