Humility
from The Daily Breadcast Hosted by Someone Who Wants to Help
A modest or low view of one’s own importance; freedom from pride/arrogance Have you ever heard… “If you’re the smartest person in the room, then you’re in the wrong room.” Humility says .. even if I am the smartest person in the room, no one will ever know that I know that nor will I even give the slightest hint that that’s the way I perceive myself... Humility is something that needs to be cultivated daily. Here are some practical ways to develop this virtue: Serve Others: seek opportunities to serve. Admit Mistakes and Ask for Forgiveness: admit when they are wrong & ask for forgiveness. Submit to God’s Will: trusting God’s plan and submitting to His authority in every area of life. Practice Gratitude: acknowledge that all good things come from God Humility allows us to live in harmony with one another Romans 12:16 - Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. Proverbs 11:2 - When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom. Philippians 2:3-4 - Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
