When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. — Proverbs 11:2, NIV
Practicing humility may open more opportunities to find deeper joy and purpose. By prioritizing others and seeking the best for them, our hearts can be transformed. Although we may have our limitations, by walking closely with the Lord, we can lean on him for strength and guidance. As we strive and go through our journey in being humble, we can reflect on the character of Christ, who exemplified the ultimate act of humility on the cross.
So, what are some practical ways we can practice humility?
- Serve others selflessly
- Practice active listening
- Admit when you are wrong
- Celebrate other’s successes
Through a humble heart, we are not only transformed but also making a lasting impact on the lives of those around us.
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. — James 4:10, NIV
