The Beauty of Humility

Understanding Humility

Humility is a foundational principle in the Bible. It is about recognizing our dependence on God and acknowledging that all we have comes from Him. It is not thinking less of ourselves, but thinking of ourselves less, and putting others before us.

Modeling after Jesus

Jesus is our ultimate example of humility. Despite being the Son of God, He came to serve rather than to be served. His humility was displayed in His willingness to take on the form of a servant and ultimately lay down His life for us. We are called to follow in His humble footsteps.

Embracing Humility

Humility opens the door for God’s grace and exalts us in due time. When we humble ourselves before the Lord, He promises to lift us up. It is a posture that allows God to work through us and touch the lives of others.
