| Be Tempered with Humility: Arrogance is extremely destructive for relationships. One party is always in a ‘superior’ position, and there is danger that the relationship will turn into a dictatorship and become abusive. However, if I were humble, according to the main Greek word used in the New Testament, I would be someone who naturally acknowledged that all of my natural gifts, etc., come from God. At the same time, I would acknowledge that I am an object of His undeserved, redeeming love. I would no longer think of myself as ‘my own’, but God's in Christ. I would know that it is impossible to exalt myself, because I have nothing of myself. Therefore, the humble mind is at the root of all other graces and virtues. There can be no real love without humility. Humility is also described in the Bible as a ‘Fruit of the Spirit’. Fruit takes time to grow; it is not instant (unless it is synthetic or plastic!). So, we shouldn’t be surprised if humility is hard to practice. However, these are not excuses to give us good reason to avoid trying. The Holy Spirit will change us as we allow Him. If we are not willing, He will not force change upon us. So, we should first ask whether this is a characteristic we want to display. If the answer is ‘yes’, we should ask God to change us, understanding that it may take some time. Imagine how different our relationships would be if we all exercised true humility! |
