Acting Humble

Flagler Beach, FL
The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility. (Prov 15:33 KJV)

When we continually grovel and proclaim our own humility; when we "act" as though we are less than because we think that others will look at us and say "what a humble person he/she is;" when we use words that flatter others to exhibit our own humility, that is not humility. When we have to prove our humility so that we might receive the honor that we desire; that is not humility. That is pride. 

“True humility does not know that it is humble. If it did, it would be proud from the contemplation of so fine a virtue.”  (Martin Luther)

God's Peace - Pr. J
