Humbly asked God to remove our shortcomings
We have emphasized willingness as being indispensable. Are we now ready to let God remove from us all the things which we have admitted are objectionable? Can He now take them all, everyone? If we still cling to something we will not let go, we ask God to help us be willing.

A great turning point in our lives came when we sought for humility as something we really wanted, rather than as something we must have.
