Humility is...

At the Ranch, we are encouraged to choose a word for the year. A word to focus on, something to grow in. Something the Lord has brought us to.

My word is humility.

Here is Christ's example of humility. Mark 10:45 "For even the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give up his life as a ransom for many"

And this is what we are told to do. Philippians 2:3-8 says "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others."

This is a pretty big deal.

This is what it has looked like in my life already.

Humility is...

asking for help.

being honest.

being patient.

giving God all the glory.

giving up control.

waiting on the Lord.

crying at work.

crying out to the Lord.

recognizing my life isn't about me.

neither is my work.

neither are my relationships.

neither are my hopes and dreams.

admitting faults.

asking forgiveness.

working hard no matter who sees.

learning.

trust.

beautiful.

No time wasted when it comes to our God shaping hearts. Ask him and he will change you.

Ephesians 4:2 "Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love."
