Humility is soft within
And brings a quiet confidence.
It won't be found in boastful hearts
But gently lies in non-defense.
It doesn't search for accolades
Or feed on others' constant praise,
But rather meets another's needs
And never will it's banner raise.
It acts and serves as Jesus did
And won't promote itself above
Any other human being,
But sincerely serves in love.
"Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for 'God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.' Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you."
I Peter 5:5-7 NKJ
