"Sometime draw a line down through a piece of paper and on the left side write the caption: 'I gave these things to myself.' One the right side: 'God gave these things to me.' Then thoughtfully examine yourself and fill in the two columns. If you are truthful, if you are humble, you will discover that your faults and failings and sins are all that you can boast of as being truly your own. All your gifts are from God. Saint Paul was so right when he said, 'What have you that you have not received? And, if you have received it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?' Briefly, humility consists in figuring out what is yours and what belongs to God."
