No, that is not what being "humble" means. True humility does not mean meek surrender to an ugly, destructive way of life, - that is what I can be doing to myself if I keep doing things the wrong way. It means surrender to God's will, which is quite a different thing. Humility prepares me for understanding what God wants me to do. Being humble shows me how good things will come to me in time when I do what He wishes me to do.
Today's Reminder
The attitude of true humility helps me to feel good about myself, helps me to build good self-esteem on "good" things, not "bad" things. It gives me strength to see spiritual answers to my life's problems.
"Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God . . . casting all your care upon Him, for He careth for you. He giveth grace to the humble."
