I am tired of hearing the words, "I can't." Jeremiah said, "I am a child," but the Lord didn't pat him on the back and say,"Jeremiah, that is very good; I like that in you. Your humility is beautiful." Oh no! God didn't want any such mock humility. He reproved and rebuked it. I do not like the humility that is to humble to do as it is bid. When my children are too humble to do as they are bid, I pretty soon find a way to make them. I say, "God and do it!" The Lord wants us to "Go and do it!"
