What humility looks like?

In our world, humility is often seen as self-degrading concept that reveals our insecurities and keeps us from becoming our best selves. But true humility never leads to insecurity, because insecurity is a form of pride.

Pride can do a lot to the human heart.
Pride either puffs us up or tears us down.
Pride is self-sufficient, but also self-destructive.

if we are doing great bright makes us confidence soar. but if we're going through a rough season, pride makes us sensitive to our failures. pride links our worth to our accomplishments and it prevents us from seeing who we truly are. pride makes us think that if we try hard enough we can be good enough. humility helps us realize that we are not good enough but God is enough for us. humility is often a risk. it might might mean laying down our socially standing, reputation, Financial Security, sense of authority, or expertise.

You can see where the pride is, actually many other sin, feeling, or emotion in this chart called feeling wheel.

but surrendering our self-sufficiency lets us embrace God's Authority. when we surrender ourselves to God, we allow him to be glorified through us.

Humility might cost us something, but it leads to abundant life.

"Humble yourselves, then, under God's mighty hand, so that he will lift you up in his own good time."

-1 Peter 5:6 (GNT, Good News Translation)
