Humility (next day repost)

“The peace of God guards my heart,

For I know how to live in humility;

of being well-fed and of going hungry,

of living aplenty and of being in need.”[1]

Humility safeguards

our spiritual life

Humility protects

our soul’s integrity.

“Humility is simply the truth.

accepting our bond with God.

Humility does not deny what we are

but attributes what we are to Him.”[2]

Humility fills us

with compassion,

Humility fulfills

with charity for all

“Humility admits what we have,

we have from God:

everything lovable, attractive,

beautiful, useful, and desirable.” [3]

In the movie "Harvey", Elwood P Dowd, played by Jimmy Stewart, explains coping with the world this way: "Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, 'In this world, Elwood, you must be' - she always called me Elwood - 'In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me." Well, for years I was smart, oh so very smart, I too recommend pleasant - Trust the harmony
