Humility

For by the grace given me, I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. Romans 12:3 Healthy self-esteem is important because some of us think too little of ourselves; and the other hand, some of us overestimate ourselves. The key to an honest and accurate evaluation is knowing the basis of our self-worth - our identity in Christ. Apart from him, we are not capable of very much by eternal standards; in him, we are valuable and capable of worthy service. Evaluating yourself by the worldly standards of success and achievement can cost you to think too much about your worth in the eyes of others and thus miss your true value in God's eyes. Therefore, don't pray for more faith. Use what you have and watch it multiply. "According to your faith, so be it done unto you." God Bless you, J.H.
