After recognizing the Gift of the Atonement through the steps of Repentance & beginning to seek the Holiness & Comfort of the Holy Ghost one becomes prepared to Change one’s Soul and become a New Creature in the Lord. At that time Contrite Humility is a working Growth Principle that can create a new Character Quality in One’s Life.
Following are some Points of Doctrine from the Scriptures that can be found in the Poems of this Section from Teachings in the Old Testament as well as from Modern Prophets and other writings on Humility.
Become Teachable and the Spirit of the Lord will Guide You.
Let no man beguile you, put away vanity & worship in humility
Honor & Revere Your Lord
Haughtiness brings destruction, so become meek & lowly
Serve the Lord with a willing mind & many tears
Be subject unto Grace, submitting yourself to those of wise years
Pray for Wisdom
Seek Remission of All your Sins
Stand Steadfastly in your Callings
Be delivered out of your afflictions
Impart of the Word of God to You, unto others
Execute Just of God with Mercy
Bear Afflictions unto depths of Humility
Fast & Pray Oft
Sanctify Heart & Yield your Soul unto God’s Will
Preach with Power & Authority, unto bringing many to become Humble followers
of the Lamb
Turn away all anger

Remember other Divine Character Qualities: Faith, Virtue, Knowledge, Temperance, Patience, Brotherly Kindness, Charity, Humility, Diligence, Godliness. (and Hope, & Love)
Trust in God
Be blessed by your Diligence in Prayer
Receive a Great Endowment of Truths to be poured out

I Bear Witness that as the Poems of this Section are read, studied & pondered, with a Service Project to assist another soul in the development of Humility--you will receive a Change of Heart, a contrite & teachable Spirit, and will be endowed from Heaven by the Holy Ghost on what your duty is to perform in bringing about the preparations for the Second Coming of our Messiah. For there are deeds that only you can perform! (Larson)
