Me: I make the best quilts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prodigal: Don’t let pride take over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me: No, I sure don’t need that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is from the book Lead Like Jesus by Ken Blanchard, Phil Hodges, and Phyllis Hendry<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Humility is realizing and emphasizing the importance of other people. It is not putting yourself down; it is lifting others up. It is saying to yourself and to others, “I am precious in God’s sight–and so are you.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The humility Jesus demonstrated did not rise from a lack of self-esteem, love, power, or ability. His humility came from the fact that He knew whose He was, who He was, where He came from, and where He was going. That understanding freed Him to treat people with love and respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can treat people with love and respect without having to agree with them. They do not have to be perfect or without sin to receive out love and respect. Just remember to be humble in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
