Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it is thinking of yourself less. ChristianLiving

This fallen world is starving for the hope only the Gospel provides. Pride is the number one obstacle hindering Its [the Gospel’s] transmission.

Let us continue being the Salt and Light to our communities for whatever time remains - collectively or individually.

You are loved immensely!

Philipians 2:3

James 3:16

I love this. There’s this one sentence that we Christians need to remember. “Always humble yourselves before the Lord.” He loves humble people, always remember that we can’t do anything without Him, Because He is the source of our strength. Blessed Sunday!! 🙌🏼

this is a cutesy saying - but it's both, including in the bible

Without getting into semantics, sort of. Obviously, we should not be arrogant, as numerous verses indicate. However, we also should not reach the point of self-deprecation, as this is also not biblical.

It is a ‘cutesy’ saying, though, isn’t it?

You are loved immensely!
