Reflecting the Heart of Jesus- Humility
How can you reflect a heart of humility? Is it by putting yourself down or by thinking you are of little worth? No, humility is no passive resignation. And it's not the fine art of belting yourself or others. It comes from knowing Christ and knowing your worth in Him. It takes place in the mind and heart and is referred to as "lowliness of mind" (Philippians 2:3). And it can be matured and cultivated...
I bet your wondering, "Well, how can I be more humble?" Begin each day by reflecting on Christ's great sacrifice on your behalf and considering your own sinfulness. When you follow this pattern, you will be humbled by the grace God has offered to you. Next, make willful choices that give humility place in your life. Talk less, listen more (and def talk less about yourself!). Look for those who are suffering or alone, and reach out. Wherever your day takes you, go to give and to serve as many people you can. Volunteer to help clean up or set up. Commit yourself to a ministry that no one sees- cook or bake for other at home, visit those in hospitals, take a special meal to a cancer victim, clean an elderly's home. And lastly be a woman of prayer! Everything about prayer breeds humility. The posture of prayer is downward. Talking to God is humbling- He is holy. Worshipping and praising Him is humbling- He is bigger and greater than you. Think of Peter's words: "Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God" (1 Peter 5:6).
