If you want humility,
you will need to find
a way to unveil haughtiness
in your heart and mind.
For, when you reveal,
the smugness deep within
humility will start . . .
to trickle right on in.
If you want humility,
you will need to see
just how self-absorbed
you can truly be.
For, when you uncover,
your self-righteousness
humility with expose . . .
God’s righteousness.
If you want humility,
you’ll need to discover
just how arrogant
you can be to others.
For, when you explore,
your self-obsessed feelings
humility will have you . . .
before God kneeling!
~~~~~
“Before destruction the heart
of man is haughty,
and before honour is humility.”

Hi Deborah, I enjoyed the poem. I was always taught that humility is the ability and willingness to see yourself as you really are. No better or worse. Would you agree? Why or why not?

Hi Kia I am glad you enjoyed reading the poem. I believe humility is the act of seeing ourselves worthless in our own eyes and admitting to ourselves that without God’s mercy, the grace of our Savior, Christ Jesus and the power of His Sprint in us that on our own there is nothing we can do to save ourselves from our wicked state. When we see this about ourselves then we will see the need to show the same humility God shows us to others and pray that God will draw them to the only One who can redeem them. ~ Have a blessed day with Jesus ~
