Luke 18:14
all who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted.”
When everything around us encourages us to compete
To stand out from the crowd
To be better
To be best
To be noticed
When we know that blending in
leads to being overlooked
underestimated
undervalued
sidelined
When we’ve learned the cost of supporting others
especially when those for whom we make way
are only too happy to step over us
humility feels like a gamble
instead of a virtue
And then we see Jesus
towel in hand
stooping to wash our feet.
Showing us what humility looks like
and asking us, with love
to do the same.
