...something about humility...

"False humility is running rampant in the body of Christ! We hear it after a person sings a great song in church. When we tell them what an awesome job they did, it is common for them to say something like, "It wasn't me; it was Jesus." I often want to say to them, "It wasn't that good!" This mentality is killing us because we don't want people to think there is any thing good in us. This leads to the same bondage Gideon experienced.....True humility is born out of an awareness of God's greatness, grows in a heart full of gratitude and matures in the awe of His passionate love for us. Prayer is an act of humility because the person who prays acknowledges the need for Heaven's help and fellowship with the Creator. Prayerlessness is the ultimate pride. True humility understands its need for the Father. Humility also has eyes to see the awesome work our God has accomplished in the lives of others. We humble ourselves by helping others "have their day in the Son" while loving them with the same love we have for ourselves. Somebody once said, "The grace of God humbles a man without degrading him and exalts a man without inflating him!"....practical humility (has to do with) honor."
