Sometimes we think we are someone that we clearly are not. For a long time I thought I was a humble Christian. I thought I was this "good" guy who knew God and didn't do this or do that. But what is humility? What is the definition of Humble? You see it wasn't until these last few days that I realized that I had no idea what humble meant. I thought it meant beating up on myself and taking pride in the things I didn't do for myself, and all the things that I was doing for me to not be about ME. But you see there in lies the problem, in my failed attempt to be humble I was making it all about myself. And as they say: EPIC Fail! Being humble is not about how much I don't do for me, and how much I go out of my way to not talk about me. Being humble is about how we lift up others. Being humble is completely excluded ourself. Sometimes in an attempt to be humble we do it
for ourself. For
our own personal gain and it has nothing to do with the other person or people.
Being humble is never about how much I can beat myself down, it's all about how much I can bring UP those around me.
"
so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."
Isaiah 55:11
