What Is Humility? (And How Do I Live a Humble Life?)
1. Humility values God’s ways above all else.
2. Humility grows over time as we are transformed.
3. Humility remembers none of us is greater.
Jesus exhorts the disciples not to act like proud kings, but humble servants.
4. Humility knows who you are and whose you are.
5. Humility is honest.

Content: False humility means not owning who you are in an effort to appear humble. This may include denying the existence of God-given gifts, desires, thoughts, and needs. By denying these things, we undermine the beauty of something God values. Humility doesn’t say, “Look at how bad I am,” any more than it says, “Look at how good I am.” It points to the Father and His goodness. It rests in who I am because of the great I AM. True humility needs God desperately and trusts Him implicitly. I still don’t know how to live humility well, but I know it requires a whole lot of Jesus’ greatness over anything I could muster. The more I come to know Him and how much I need Him, the more freedom I experience. In this place, I’m equipped to live out of an overflow of His goodness for me, to others around me.
