Humility is a virtue.
3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. (Philippians 2:3-4 ESV)
When we are living our lives the way Jesus taught us how to live (with the help of the Holy Spirit), we are more focused on the needs of other people and we are less focused on our own selfish purposes.
Greatness comes in serving others, not in being served.
Others, Lord, yes, others,
Let this my motto be;
Help me to live for others,
That I might live like Thee.
—Charles D. Meigs
What would happen if we all applied this principle in our lives today?
