November 11 - What, exactly, is humility? Does it mean that we are
to be submissive, accepting everything that comes our way, no matter how
humiliating? Does it mean surrender to ugliness and a destructive way
of life? On the contrary. the basic ingredient of all humility is
simply a desire to seek and do God's will.
Am I coming
to understand that an attitude of true humility confers dignity and
grace on me, strengthening me to take intelligent spiritual action in
solving my problems?
Today I Pray - May I discover that
humility is not bowing and scraping, kowtowing, or letting people walk
all over me - all of which have built in expectations of some sort of
personal reward, like approval or symphony. Real humility is awareness
of the vast love and unending might of God. It is the perspective that
tells me how I, as a human being, relate to the Divine Power.
Today I Will Remember - Humility is awareness of God.
