True humility comes from a right understanding of God from "summary" of Crazy Love by Francis Chan
True humility is not something we can manufacture on our own. It is not a personality trait or a skill that we can learn through practice. True humility comes from a right understanding of God. When we truly grasp the greatness of God and His infinite power, wisdom, and holiness, we are humbled by our own insignificance in comparison. This understanding of God's greatness puts everything into perspective and reveals our true place in the universe. Humility is not thinking less of ourselves; it is thinking of ourselves less. When we have a right understanding of God, we no longer feel the need to constantly draw attention to ourselves or seek recognition and praise from others. Instead, we are content to live in the shadow of God's glory, knowing that He alone deserves all honor and glory. This humility is not a sign of weakness, but of strength. It takes great courage and faith to let go of our pride and ego and surrender ourselves completely to God. It requires us to acknowledge our own limitations and weaknesses and to trust in God's strength and wisdom instead. Humility is also a key component of true worship. When we come before God with humble hearts, acknowledging His greatness and our own unworthiness, we are able to worship Him in spirit and in truth. Our worship is not about us; it is about God and His glory. True humility allows us to focus on God and His majesty, rather than on ourselves and our own desires. Ultimately, true humility is a reflection of our relationship with God. When we have a right understanding of God and His greatness, we are able to see ourselves as we truly are - imperfect, sinful creatures in need of His grace and mercy. This understanding leads to a deep sense of gratitude and awe, as we realize the magnitude of God's love for us despite our flaws.- True humility is not something we can achieve through our own efforts. It is a gift from God that comes from a right understanding of His greatness and our own insignificance in comparison. When we humble ourselves before God, we are able to worship Him in spirit and in truth, acknowledging His glory and our own unworthiness. Humility is not a sign of weakness, but of strength, as it requires great courage and faith to let go of our pride and ego and surrender ourselves completely to God. May we all strive to cultivate true humility in our lives, as we seek to glorify God in all that we do.
