When I stop to think of my parents…their work ethic, modest lifestyle, and humility, I can see that Jesus was their example that they followed all their lives. They always put others ahead of themselves in serving, volunteering, and giving of their time and talents. It’s this type of Christ-like humility that accepts a place of service with genuine concern for the needs and interests of others…while in contrast, selfish pride is competitive by nature and tries to lift a person above others, dividing and promoting conflict rather than harmony. I Peter 5:5 tells us to clothe ourselves with humility towards one another, for when we cover ourselves and our humble and faithful obedience with the love of God…people won’t see us, they’ll just see God’s love in action.
