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

I heard the quote above from one of Rick Warren’s sermons online the other day.

Isaiah 66:2 - “All these things my hand has made, and so all these things came to be, declares the Lord. But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word.”

You can’t be selfish and humble at the same time. Selfish people mostly put themselves first and put others, even God, second in their thoughts.

A humble person will look for opportunities to help others. They will put other’s needs before their own.

You can’t fake humility and you need to be careful when praying for humility. God can make you real humble, really quick.

As we’re striving to be more like Jesus, weave humility into your daily routine. The more you do this, the more natural humility will come.
