HUMILITY

Most people in life do not know how to be humble. They believe they are entitled to get certain things. They feel that they should always be seen and heard. They crave love, attention, and exaltation but the bible tells us that the people who exalt themselves will be humbled. Those who are humble will be exalted (Luke 14: 11).

Some people desire the best of everything and always put themselves before others. They think they are better than everyone and some people see it as confidence. While others see it as selfishness. The Bible proclaims that those who are first will be last and those who are last will be first(Luke 13:30). Then you have those who are having functions such as parties, dinners and weddings where they only invite the people with affluence and significance. They feel that those persons will be indebted to you and later return the favor; but where is the substantial benefit in this? Your substantial benefit is found and recieved when you invite those who can not repay you. Your blessings will flow and your reward is found in heaven with God almighty.

Jesus was the perfect example of humility. Why you may ask? Firstly, he was the son of God who willingly became poor so others could have riches in abundance in the heavens. Secondly, he became a man to draw all men to the father. Thirdly, he came into a sinful, dirty and perverted world for many reasons but the ones I can think of first are: to save us, show us how to live, give us direction to God and travel on a journey to show us that it is possible. Jesus came by humble beginnings so that no one could have a claim to Him. In other words Jesus came for everyone and it does not matter if you are rich or poor, black or white, or even from the north or the south. He was and still is available to all of us.

It is written in John 3: 16 that God so loves the world, and it did not specify, color, denominations, or nationality. Folks there is only one way to God and that is through Jesus Christ, his only begotten son (John 14:6,John 8:32). Would you like to meet Him?
