Humility...

On a different note,

Ever try to explain to someone the feeling of humility? Hehehe... It aint easy! You see, the dictionary says "Meekness, Submissiveness" but personally I do not think that is a very good description at all! Humility isn't a sign of weakness, quite the opposite! It's is a sign of strength actually! If a personal can go against their very flesh, carnal desires, and self focus tendencies to receive a gift of Love, adoration and encouragement... That my friends, is Awesome and far from Weak!
To be humble is to put aside arrogance, to take on a perspective of unworthiness but not in a pessimistic manner. We are ALL faulty... Thankfully we are ALL loved as well! There is a transparency that comes with understanding we are ALL unworthy of the Love, Grace, Mercy, Favor, and LIFE that we are given! It's an understanding of being provided an opportunity to be fruitful, productive, influential, and be a positive part of a bigger picture! To be a member of society in a way that is enriching, of value and of purpose! We ALL have the opportunity to live a life of worth, yet still understanding we are Not worthy of it's rewards!
To be humble is the understanding of the GIFT and Not allowing our selfish ways to cloud the source of it's fruitfulness. Meaning, We have someone looking out for us... We didn't create life, thus can't take credit for it! We have a Provider, We have a Creator, And We have an Intercessor who allows us the opportunity to be of value!
So, being willing to give credit where it's due is a characteristic of honor, selflessness, and integrity! I do Not think You will find those definitions with the word weak or submissive! They are ones we should strive for... So, to be humble or to seek humility in your life is one of honor! Scripture speaks of the meek inheriting the earth, of the first allowing others to be lifted up! Humility is something that goes against the world's standards, against our very carnal nature... thus Not always an easy task!
Now we see why it is so hard to try and explain the feeling of humility... it is foreign by the world's standards... it engulfs so much more that one word can describe! It also has such an impact on those capable of it...I pray we ALL have the opportunity & ability to find ourselves and take on the view of humility! It allows others to feel the Victory, It allows the credit to be given to the Provider, and it will align us with a path of righteousness! WIN WIN!

Good day & God Bless,
