In our world today, humility is often seen as a self-degrading concept that reveals our insecurities and keeps us from becoming our best selves, but true humility never leads to insecurity, because insecurity is a form of pride.
There are three (3) things pride can do
1.) Pride can do a lot to the human heart.
2.) Pride either puffs us up or tears us down. 3.) Pride is self-sufficient but also self-destructive.
If we're doing great, pride makes our confidence soar, but if we're going through a rough season, pride makes us sensitive to our failures.
Pride links our worth to our accomplishments, and it prevents us from seeing who we truly are.
Pride makes us think that if we try hard enough, we can be good enough.
However, humility helps us realize that we are not enough, but God is enough for us.
It might mean laying down our social standing, reputation, financial security, sense of authority, or expertise, but surrendering our self-sufficiency lets us embrace God's authority, and when we surrender ourselves to God, we allow Him to be glorified through us.
Humility might cost us something, but it leads to abundant life.
