humble yourself

Imagine a world where everyone tried to out serve the other. Just think of that kind of humility. Some might ask: “but if my focus is on serving others, how am I going to get my own needs met?” If we’re genuinely seeking to serve others, God will give careful attention to our needs being met. 1 Peter 5:6 says: “Humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time He will lift you up in honor.” Humility isn’t about having low self-esteem or a poor self-image. It’s not about putting yourself down but about giving yourself away. If we’ll just concentrate on that, we’ll find our true selves and God will give us all the grace we need.
