Humility is not thinking less of yourself or having low self-esteem, it is thinking of yourself less, by thinking of others and God more. As the Spirit of God dwells in us, and we focus on His glory, His ways, and His thoughts, humility blossoms. As we take time to worship God, we turn the tables on idolatry and embrace a Christ-like humility. This turning of attention gives us the capacity and motivation to follow Jesus’ example of washing the feet of others.
