Called To Be Humble

Over and over again, in the Bible we are called to be humble.  

Some people have the idea that to be humble means that we put ourselves down and that we view ourselves as inept or unskilled.  The idea for some is that the more poorly we think of ourselves, the more humble we are.  But, those are not good and healthy attitudes to have about ourselves and those attitudes do not represent true humility.  

True humility is to see ourselves honestly and to see God honestly.  We can put it this way:  True humility is to honestly understand who we are in light of who God is.
