The Essence of Humility

“Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls” (Matthew 11:29).

Do you ever find yourself being prideful or critical of others?

Humility is a godly trait and one we see evidenced in our Lord. 

Jesus was humble. He explained that His humility flowed from His heart. In other words, from the essence of who He is. 

That’s what we need. Not an attempt at humility, but rather to truly regard others as more important than ourselves. 

Jesus said we are to learn from Him. If we’re not humble, we can begin by turning to Him and asking Him to fill us with His humble Spirit.

Lord, even though You who have every right to be prideful, You chose to serve others and even HUMBLE yourself to the point of death. I praise You, Lord Jesus, and pray to be more like You.
