Something that one can do in personal gospel study is to add something to a quote of message. By extending the message or quote with your own insight and additional interpretation, it really causes one to think about a message and internalize it deeper into your mind, ibraining if you will- causes one to remember better the content: for example, in ital-
Humility is the essence of repentance. Humility is selfless, not selfish. It doesn’t demand its own way or speak with moral superiority. Instead, humility answers softly, 2 and listens kindly for understanding, not vindication or uncontrollable, mouth-foaming anger in reeling, heated argument. Humility recognizes that no one can change someone else, but with faith, effort, and the help of God, we can undergo our own mighty change of heart. 3 Experiencing the mighty change of heart causes us to treat others, especially our spouses, with meekness. 4 Humility means that both husbands and wives seek to bless, help, and lift each other, putting the other first in every decision. Watch and learn: repentance and humility build happy marriages.
