On Humility

Posted by Terry Nelson on May 13th, 2008

The seventh degree of humility is that he consider himself lower and of less account than anyone else, and this not only in verbal protestation but also with the most heartfelt inner conviction, humbling himself and saying with the prophet, “But I am a worm and no man, the scorn of men and the outcast of the people.  After being exalted, I have been humbled and covered with confusion.”  And again, “It is good for me that you have humbled me, that I may learn your commandments.” - RSB

Jesus meek and humble of heart, make my heart like unto thine.
