I went to the vigil Mass yesterday (because I like the music played at that Mass more). During prayer before Mass started, the Lord showed me that I must grow in two directions, outward and inward. The former refers to loving others and the latter, to becoming more humble.
It's easy to feel a lot of love for the Lord, but to translate that into the action of loving others, which involves the will and requires effort, is another thing. It's somewhat like an engineer who knows all the theory but doesn't know how to fix anything. So I must grow outward in that direction.
As for growing in the other direction, I must concentrate inward to gain more humility. I had already ask the Lord to ground out my ego like a stump grinder working on a stump, but there are still remnants left. So the work must continue.
Love and humility must go hand in hand because either one lacking the other cannot truly be genuine.
