Jesus notices the motives of our heart

‎"So He (Jesus) told a parable to those who were invited, WHEN HE NOTED how they chose the best places, saying to them: ... For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” Luke 14:7-11

The Lord Jesus notices the motives of our heart... No one can deceive Him. It is much easier to exalt ourselves than to humble ourselves but there is much greater honor in humbling ourselves. Well, what can I say... "narrow is the gate and few are able to enter."
