Humility

The subject of humility is a difficult one.
Humility is not thinking less of myself than I ought to;
it is acknowledging that I do certain things well,
it is accepting a compliment graciously.
God can only do for me what He can do through me.
Humility is the result of knowing that God is the doer,
not me.

Thought to Ponder....

Humility is not thinking less of yourself,
but thinking of yourself less.
