Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
James 4:10
__________________________
Humility is refusing to put oneself in the place of God. It is to know oneself as a child of God, to know one's place in God's economy, and to know one's worth in his sight. Knowing these, it is possible not to need to call attention to oneself. Humility is the ability to go about the tasks God has given, secure in his love and his valuing, without wondering if others appreciate us as much as they should. It is the ability to see others being praised and not need to belittle them, either silently or aloud, in an effort to make yourself look good by comparison. "Humility is to know there is a God, and to know you are not him."
