Humility Means Thinking of Yourself Less

Humility

The subject of humility is a difficult one. Humility is not thinking less of myself than I ought to; it is acknowledging that I do certain things well, it is accepting a compliment graciously.

God can only do for me what He can do through me. Humility is the result of knowing that God is the doer, not me.

Thought to Ponder . . .

Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less.
