The importance of being humble:
If there is good in you, see more good in others, so that you may remain humble. It does no harm to esteem yourself less than anyone else, but it is very harmful to think yourself better than even one. The humble live in continuous peace, while in the hearts of the proud are envy and frequent anger.
–Thomas à Kempis
It is so hard for us to place ourselves below others, to esteem them as more important than ourselves. And yet, that is exactly what Jesus did for us. Though immeasurably more worthy than us, He placed Himself lower than us so that He could serve us. Self-sacrifice. Humility. Love.
As a follower of His, it is now time for me to do the same for others.
