When we compare ourselves with Christ we have a true evaluation of ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How humble are we if we are judging who is humble and who is not? Food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biblical humility as I understand it, is not about yourself or others. It's about a recognition and understanding of your dependence of God, a recognition and understanding of who God is in your words, actions and most of all, your heart.

Phil.2:3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I heard an old evangelist once say that humility is one of the few things that when you think you have it, you don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Lord it's hard to be humble When your'e perfect in every way I can't even look in the mirror I get better looking each day.... It's a very funny parody of someone who is too perfect to be humble!
