Word from God’s Word-Humility

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Word from God’s Word is Humility.

C.S. Lewis once said that “Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it’s thinking of yourself less.”

As Jesus becomes the lover of our soul, He becomes the focus of our thoughts. His grace and mercy refresh us daily. His glory captures our heart and motivates us into places of service for Him. His love moves us to a place of humility, opening the eyes of our heart to the needs of others. This is how humility affects the quality of our relationships.

First Peter 5:5 instructs us with these words: “All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because ‘God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”

Philippians 2:3 says, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility, value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests, but each of you to the interests of the others.”
