We come nearest to the great when we are great in humility.
~ Rabindranath Tagore ~
No single characteristic brings us greater joy than humility. There is no greater defense against the cunning, baffling, and powerful disease with which we live. We must learn to understand the strength and wisdom which comes from a truly humble person.
It is good to get rid of our misconceptions about humility. Humility has nothing to do with shyness, weakness, or putting ourselves down. When humility becomes an ego-booster, then it turns into a character defect. Humility is living in a proper relationship to God. When we walk with God, we don’t have to try to be humble. We are humble.
The reason there is strength and power in humility is that God is strong and powerful. My own daily abstinence is but one result of this Power.
