As your spiritual teacher I give this piece of advice to each one of you. Don’t cherish exaggerated ideas of yourself or your importance, but try to have a sane estimate of your capabilities by the light of the faith that God has given to you all. Romans 12:3 J.B. Phillips New Testament
Humility and honesty are really the same thing.
A humble person is simply someone who is naturally honest about their own truth.
You and I came along a few years ago; we’re going to be gone in a few more years.
The only honest response to such a mystery is humility.
Richard Rohr
But all who humble themselves before the Lord shall be given every blessing
and shall have wonderful peace. Psalm 37:11 Living Bible
Humility, if ever we could grow into it, would not be a burden.
It would be an immense gift.
Humility is the freedom to stop trying to be what we’re not,
or pretending to be what we’re not,
and accepting our “appropriate smallness.”
In Luther’s words, humility is the decision to let ‘God be God’.”
John Ortberg Jr.
Being humble matters.
He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way. Psalm 25:9 NIV
Humility is not a bold display of “I am less,”
but a quiet display of “He is more.”
