Humility curbs the errors of the tongue
From words that are careless and sometimes far-flung.
Humility sees without clouded vision,
‘Cause “self” does not block it’s careful precision.
.
Humility never is weak, but is wise,
And with understanding, in strength it will rise...
Dousing the flames of challenge and ire.
With kindness and skill, it puts out the “fire”.
Humility is quiet and often will rest,
Is not in a hurry and weighs every test
Humility’s actions with love are well-laced,
Helpful and caring, gentle and graced.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control...”
Galatians 5:22 KJV
