"A calm and humble life will bring more happiness than the pursuit of success and the constant restlessness that comes with it." - Albert Einstein
The facts really confirm that it takes humility to serve others, yet, we should likewise recall that occasionally it takes lowliness to be served by others.
It takes modesty to say, "I really want assistance, I can't do it alone, and I really want you." It takes lowliness to permit yourself to be helped. So, we frequently see individuals circumventing helping other people and misinterpreting that by itself to be modest however there's a twin impact.
Can you be helped too? One of the many essences of pride is an extreme freedom that will not gamble with weakness and express need. God made us to be interdependent and to require one another. This is the whole point of the body metaphor used for the church in scripture. A hand cannot work alone nor can a leg stride on its own.
The amazing thing about pride is that it can conceal itself. By declining to be served an individual might seem modest. However, under that misleading lowliness is a pride that says, "I will never be in a position to need anyone."
The language of modesty looks to serve yet in addition makes room to be served as well. Have a nice Friday and joyful weekend! #behumble
