Humility The Queen Of All Virtues

When you are invited to an occasion do you place yourself or sit in a place of Honour before you are being placed by those who incited you? Humility makes men saints. For, every act of humility involves dying to pride.

Every act of courage involves dying to cowardice. Every act of love involves dying to selfishness. It is by dying to the false self that the true self, made in God’s image is found.

Humility is the queen of all virtues. In other words, humility is acknowledging that we are all dependent on God’s grace. Pride goes before a fall whereas humility and sacrifice are the essence of true love.

Therefore, am I a shameless self-promoter, always focused on being numero uno? Am I getting myself to the Number One position as much as possible in an ungodly manner?

What kind of person am I? Remember that God raises the lowly from the dust. Humility is the foundation of true leadership. It is the ladder to divine understanding. Humble yourself before God’s sight. James 4:10. Anyone who humbled himself will be exalted.
