The Greatness of Humility

There is something so wonderful about meeting another individual who is truly humble. Humility is simply understanding the role one plays in any given situation. For instance, I am good at preaching. I am not awesome; that is obvious from the lack of people drawn to hear what I say. At the same time, I really don't think I'm bad. It seems that my words have helped to inspire others. However, I am keenly aware that the message is fantastic and life-changing when the Holy Spirit is moving in a mighty way. When this happens, a cruddy message ends up becoming one the best ever. When the Spirit does not move, then even my best messages don't completely get through. Thus, I work hard to improve in my limited human abilities and pray that God's Spirit moves more often.
If people could learn humility in every area of their lives, then life would be better. A person who is good at something won't get a big head and take credit for themselves. At the same time, the person won't have a false sense that they have nothing to do with what is taking place, because God very much enjoys using people. Therefore, acknowledge where you are strong, where you are weak, and understand that absolutely nothing is possible without God's allowance.
