Humility

September 25, 2005 in Rethink Faith with 4 Comments

HumilityI’m blogging during this morning’s message. Is that allowed?

Signs of a humble (small-ego) person:

  1. They listen.
  2. They draw attention to others.
  3. They welcome advice.
  4. They are polite and considerate.
  5. They constantly compliment.
  6. They forgive freely.
  7. They can lay their ideas down.
  8. They care about how they make others feel.
  9. They are life-long learners.
  10. They recognize hurt and pain in others.
  11. They don’t care about recognition.
  12. Insignificance means little to them.
  13. They embrace the calling of a servant.

Question: Which of these jump out as weak areas in your own life?

    multi-tasking is always a good thing… well, maybe not always but when you come up with positive results it is a good thing. So, what was the morning message about ;-)

    I would like to add one more to the list:
    A humble person exchanges entitlement for gratitude.
