Humility

“God…giveth grace to the Humble” (James 4:6).

Humility is one of the loveliest flowers that springs in the garden of the believer’s heart. We are all inclined to pride and vanity by nature. When the Spirit of Christ possesses us, we will display that lowliness and meekness which always characterized our blessed Lord. He said: “Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am
meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls”
(Matthew 11:29).

Where this lowly spirit prevails, it is easy to extend forgiveness to those who have offended us. To many this seems like the bondage of slavery, but it is the very opposite. Greatness is evidenced by one’s readiness to deny self and to serve others for the sake of the one of whom we read, “The Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). We cannot share in His atoning or redemptive work, but we can and should follow Him in His life of patient service for the blessing of a needy world.
