Humility is a part of Love

I read about Lauren going to an orphanage in Africa and taking coloring sheets for the kids to color. They sang, "He's got the whole world in His hands." I thought about how she was loving those kids over there. I also thought of I Peter 5:6 that says, "Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God." Humility is part of loving. Humility is putting the other first. Humility is what drives people like Lauren to Africa to serve others. Humility is what says 'not me first, but you.' Humility is what we do when we recognize there is a Power and Source beyond us, and that we need it. Yes, we long for it. Humility says, 'I love you.'

As Jonathan Edwards said: "Humility promotes love."
