“Humility stands alone among the virtues in that as soon as you think you have it, you probably don’t.” writes John Dixon and he goes on to define it as:
“Humility is the noble choice to forgo your status, deploy your resources or use your influence for the good of others before yourself.”
I re-listened to Think Hard Stay Humble a sermon preached by Francis Chan.
He does these seven things before he preaches.
And here is a sentence that landed on my heart yet again and humbled me:
'Some of you have been studying Christ for years but does your life look anything like his?'
Now that's a question for me to mull on and pray about.
