In a world that often celebrates the loudest voices and the most apparent achievements, the quiet strength of humility can be overlooked. However, the Bible teaches us that humility is a virtue of great value and strength. Being humble doesn’t mean putting yourself down; rather, it’s about having a realistic view of your importance and focusing on others as much as yourself.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility, value others above yourselves. Philippians 2:3 (NIV)
Humility allows us to be open to learning, to accept guidance, and to admit when we are wrong – all of which are essential for personal growth and strong relationships. It also helps us to appreciate the contributions of others and to recognize that everyone has something valuable to offer.
