Humility is the ability to give up your pride and still retain your dignity.
People often wonder what humility means or what is the definition of humility. In the Bible, humility or humbleness is a quality of being courteously respectful of others. It is the opposite of aggressiveness, arrogance, boastfulness, and vanity. Rather than, "Me first," humility allows us to say, "No, you first, my friend." Humility is the quality that lets us go more than halfway to meet the needs and demands
of others.
Humility as a virtue is a major theme of both the Old and New Testaments. Why do qualities such as courtesy, patience and deference have such a prominent place in the Bible? It is because a demeanor of humility is exactly what is needed to live in peace and harmony with all persons. Humility dissipates anger and heals old wounds. Humility allows us to see the dignity and worth of all God's people. Humility distinguishes the wise leader from the arrogant
power-seeker.
Acting with humility does not in any way deny our own self worth. Rather, it affirms the inherent worth of all persons. Some would consider humility to be a psychological malady that interferes with "success." However, wealth, power or status gained at the expense of others brings only anxiety, never peace and love.

Matthew 6:9–13

GIVE BACK WHAT THE ENEMY STOLE
Brothers and sisters please stand with me in the agreement for the restoration in my family. I pray that God will continue to go ahead of us and make our paths straight and that
He will give back everything the enemy has stolen. I pray He will speak deeply into Zach's heart and give back all those dreams, plans, and hopes of the future we had together. Let Your love be infused into our brokenness. I invite you Father to step into the time, distance, and the silence.
