about the need.

The virtue of humility is essential to come to understand the truth about ourselves. The arrogance of autonomy is the deceitful antagonist of our souls as it falsely convinces us of a confidence we should not have. Enter Humbled - an unpretentious endeavor in itself, crafted to underscore our desperate need for this humbling experience. The visual approach of minimalism aims to accentuate the portrayal of genuine repentance without the clutter of unnecessary frills. As the music fades, so too may our egos bow to the humility earnestly proposed, as it is not a flaw, but a grace, synonymous with the unmerited redemption of our soul.

Humility is to be worn - not like a badge of honor, but as an unpretentious virtue.

“It’s [my] Time” is a visual excerpt of Eric De La Cruz’s testimony from secular to saved. The Documentary-Music video represents the transitional turning point of the meaning, purpose and direction of his life, namely, the proclamation and demonstration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

It is characteristic of God to make something out of nothing. Hence God cannot make anything out of him who is not as yet nothing.... Therefore God receives none but the forsaken, heals none but the ill, gives sight to none but the blind, quickens none but the dead, makes pious none but the sinners, makes wise none but the ignorant,—in short, He has mercy on none but the miserable, and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Whoever, therefore, is a proud saint, wise or just, cannot become God’s material and receive God’s work within himself, but remains in his own work and makes an imaginary, seeming, false, and painted saint of himself, i.e., a hypocrite.”
— Martin Luther, Seven Penitential Psalms (1517, Weimar 1, p. 183)
