| Confidence without humility is Arrogance.... Humility without confidence is self-depreciation... |
If you have any special gifts or talents, -it is because God gave them to you......
If you worked hard to develop any skills or strengths, it is through the circumstances that God afforded you.
What right then do you have to consider yourself any better than my neighbor?
What do I own that is truly mine?
What do I own that is not from God?
Humility is a very Christian ideal.
We hear a lot about love and respect and pride and equality, which are good things, but humility is not praised nearly enough.
Maybe because it's boring, maybe because it doesn't lend itself to attention.
But remember that it is humility that allows us to admit we are sinners and that we need Jesus Christ.
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death
even death on a cross!
Philippians 2:5-8 (NIV)
Shalom
