Follow Christ

The humble servant of the Lord is not afraid to the Lord's will.  He knows that he cannot possibly do what God asks of him but believes that through God all is possible.  To be humble you have to be prayerful, if you are prayerful then you have the ability to hear the voice of the Beloved.  Humility and poverty of Spirit are key to following Christ and doing His will.

Being poor in spirit frees you up to follow Christ where He leads.  Humility frees you from caring what others think of you when you choose Christ.  Following Christ, not merely following your own desires and calling it Christ, will lead you to places you never dreamed of and to do things you never felt capable of.

Truly, radically, lovingly follow Christ.  Do what He commanded, love one another as I have loved you.  You will be safe, if not mortally then spiritually.  Our goal is heaven and Christ leads us there, follow Him and only Him.

The Gift of Humility

When most of uS think of humility, we think of the person who says "Oh, no, I could never do that".  But in reality, it is the exact opposite.  Humility comes from truly knowing ourselves and our true limitations, excepting those, and allowing God to provide for our shortcomings.

The humble person isn't afraid of what they can't do, if God calls them to do it.  On the other hand the humble person is happy with the talents God gives them and the work He calls them to do and is not always looking to do something else.  The school teacher who thinks they can only be satisfied if they can be an opera singer.  To be humble is to be free.
