Humility makes you strong in the work of God

There are people who think humility is a weakness.
But you cannot make this mistake if God comes first in your life – if Jesus always remains your highest priority. When we put Jesus first, personal priorities, needs and pride take a back seat. If we radically surrender to Christ, the needs of his work and the needs of others become more important than our own. And that is what being humble is all about.

Is this not what Jesus told us that God expected from us in the “greatest commandment of them all”?
”'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” (Matthew 22:36-40)

True humility is not a weakness or a fear that allow others to intimidate you. No, true humility is a willingness to serve (love) God and serve (love) others - even your enemies. It is a strong positive action, that makes a difference to God’s work and to people. Humility, service and love give us the courage to resist the temptations of wickedness (disobedience), because the Holy Spirit fuels the flame of our love for Jesus.

May you be blessed when you humbly love and follow Jesus everyday, everywhere.
