The Broken and the Proud

The broken sinner who repents, I know. Yet the prideful man who considers himself righteous, I do not know. Indeed, he shall be found a liar in the Day of Reckoning. For there is none righteous, no not one, save The Son of Man only.

Therefore I ask you,
Shall the broken sinner be justified
In his need, in his fervent desire?...

He shall indeed be justified in My sight!...

For I shall clothe him with righteousness
And cover him with grace;
In his times of weakness My strength
Shall sustain him, and in My love
Shall he be made whole!...

Behold, by My life is he healed!

Yet the proud resist Me, and the arrogant want no part with Me as I truly am. For they have clothed themselves with the glory of men, a quickly fading flower. Their comfort is in their riches, and their solace is in their accomplishments, which shall leave them soiled and bruised in the day of their calamity, says The Lord.
