Watching a gorgeous sunset as the color in the sky blooms, glows and then fades away leaving a stillness as day caves into night, is a magnificent portrait of humility to me. Not only do I want to watch humility grow and mature in my life, and the life of other followers of Jesus Christ, I want it to create that stillness of peace all throughout my life until I too, slip over the horizon, or go to be with Jesus at the time of Rapture.
Being able to admit my sins and wrongs to my heavenly Father with the declaration,
"God be merciful to me a sinner" (see Luke 18:13),and to even demonstrate the humility I have in Christ through Holy Spirit intervention, by even washing the saints feet, as Jesus once did for His disciples-cum-apostles, I and other brothers and sisters-in-Christ, who are called to serve, will begin to show our more brilliant humble colors: growing, blooming and glowing.
Let's all make a positive, godly difference in the 'world' we inhabit, by taking on the humble attitude that characterized our Savior Jesus as He trod along the byways and highways while here on earth. Let's persevere until He calls us all home to be with Him in glory.
Amen?
