Are you allowing your desire to stay humble make you feel inadequate,undeserving or feelings of low self esteem.
I struggle with this daily y’all! I serve so much, I never want anyone to think that I’m doing it to be seen or want acknowledgment. This is honestly why I stay behind the scenes so much! My pastor told me the other day, it’s time to come from behind and know that humility does not mean My self esteem should be low and that’s exactly how I was living.
💎True humility is actually derailed by self-hatred and undermined by low self-esteem. This is because humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is just thinking of yourself less. On the other hand, all self-demeaning thoughts center your attention on your sense of lack, drawing away your affection for God and others.
❗️Humility means you are teachable, influenceable, correctable and vulnerable. Humility can learn from the least, is moved by a child, embraces a rebuke, and lives in authenticity. Humility lets others take a bow while you take a seat. It is honor in action and love authenticated. True humility means that you recognize your need without condemning your soul.
❓How do you practice humility? Glad you asked, It all starts with going on a journey of receiving God’s love for yourself, and learning to become friends with your own soul. It may not be an overnight fix, but every step of the journey is an invitation to know God more, and accept the beautiful way He created you.
