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.
