Jesus is a humble spirit
Starting with no cradle.
“The poorest waif, the beggar’s child,
can at least claim a crib,
but Jesus shared
the straw of the hillside beast.” [1]
He had a submissive attitude,
He turned the other cheek,
He allowed trespassing,
He demanded service.
He suggested we follow his lead
“… learn from me, for I am meek
and humble of heart.” [2]
a tough call to answer.
No anger or furor
No temper or ire
No bluster or blabber.
No “sputter or stutter.”[3]
“… you cannot get the best of those
who are meek and humble…
they are serene and passive
as a summer’s day…”[4]
What is humility?
It’s realizing the truth,
We may have a little talent.
God gave that to us.
Have a humble spirit
Move with grace and blessing.
