12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. (Matthew 23:12 CSB)

There is a gap between us and God. While he is with us always in the form of the Spirit a gap exist. But that gap is there to help us understand that we are not God. Yes, God is with us but we are not to exalt ourselves above God. We are to be humble and understand the gap between faillable man and infaillable God.

The beauty of this gap is that God bridged it with Christ when he died for us and forgave all of our faillability. Every single failure he paid for, in full.

As I have written many times, a humble nature solves many problems. It allows us to see others in a different light. Not as better or worse off, but as equals in every aspect. Providing insight and wisdom into how we might serve God and man.
