Although you do not believe it, humility is part of the character of God and is defined as the complete absence of pride, so to enjoy the Christian life it is imperative to "be humble."
Humility is a virtue that helps us to submit ourselves to the direction of the Holy Spirit and to bend our will to the God our Lord. It is a characteristic of the soul that prepares us to have faith.
That's why the bible speaks of humility:
"God resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble" (James 4.6).
"For whoever exalts himself will be humbled; and he who humbles himself will be exalted "(Luke 14.11).
"The pride of man abate him; but the humble in spirit sustains honor "(Proverbs 29.23).
"It is better to humble the spirit with the humble than to divide the spoil with the proud" (Proverbs 16.19).
"The LORD will ravage the house of the proud" (Proverbs 15.25). "But the meek will inherit the earth; and they will re-create with abundance of peace "(Psalm 37.11).
"Pride is before destruction, and haughtiness before the fall" (Proverbs 16:18). "Whoever humbles himself ... is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 18.4).
"And you (...) who are lifted up to heaven, you will be brought down to Hades" (Matthew 11:23). "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you" (James 4.10).
Today my dear brother of @steemchurch invite you to keep the flame of humility alive in our hearts, it is a beautiful jewel that will not allow entrance to the ego and pride, and helps us see and know who we really are.
The fruit of humility is exaltation and honor, is to serve God out of love, that is why humility is very important in our relationship with God and with our fellow human beings.
You must serve God, without wanting to collect the favor afterwards, the love of God is gratuitous love and invites us to have a true spirit of simplicity and humility.
What is up to us is to continue in humility, trust in God, obey his word, stand at the foot of the cross and remember that the promises of God to the humble are safe.
Important that we recognize that the humble will be the majority in the kingdom of God, let humility guide your heart and demonstrate the presence of God in your heart.
Hi @nashilda17!
In the field of values, humility is the virtue of those who do not feel above others, or go through life presuming what they know or what they are. Humility well understood distinguishes those who value themselves in their just measure; that is, they do not believe themselves superior or inferior to others.
Good teaching Nashilda, Yes, humility is one of the most important virtues that the human being must follow. In Christianity, Jesus is a model of humility and in fact is considered the king of the humble, therefore, those who follow his doctrine must also be faithful to this conception.
Unfortunately, many people receive painful lessons in life for their pride and arrogance, we must be like the plane, the higher, the smaller it looks. Good teaching sister!
good reflection friend @ nashilda17 currently many people live on the ego, fashion, money and often forget the true essence of life, we must be humble before God and multiply all those beliefs of love and faith to our children. Humility is synonymous with having a good heart, helping and believing that we can be a better world.
