Humility

"Come unto me all you who labor and are heavy burdened and I will give you rest . . . for I am gentle and humble in heart .." (Mt 11.28f).  Humility is something good to have and to hold in one's life.  It is a virtue or value, an aspect of one's character or self which can be developed and worked on in making yourself a better or good person.  It is a quality which comes into play in relations with others.  I'm willing to put the other on an equal or superior level to myself as a matter of course.  I'm not special or better.  I'm no v.i.p.  My view of myself is that I'm here to help you. You and me, from God's viewpoint, are interchangeable.  Be humble, because in truth each of us is morally low.
