Humility is a spiritual discipline. It does not come to us naturally. If we even understand humility, we are often proud we are humble…duh…I think we need a bit more understanding!
Discipline is hard work, done in obscurity, for the sake of excellence. Those same comments apply to humility. We are often not as familiar with humility as we are with pride. The sneaky thing about pride, though, is that we often think we are humble when we are not. Our “humility” is full of holes!
Humility is not having low self-esteem, feeling unworthy or inferior or being a nobody. Humility just means you know your gifts but you know Whom they came from, and it wasn’t you! Humility is knowing you are valuable, especially valuable to God, and that is not inferior to anyone. But our relationship with God is all because of Him and not because of us…and that should keep us really humble.
