Humility
Humility means not thinking you're better than others and being willing to serve them. Jesus showed us perfect humility by serving everyone, even washing His disciples' feet!
"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves."
โ Philippians 2:3
Bible Story: Jesus Washes the Disciples' Feet
John 13:1-17
During dinner, Jesus did something surprisingโHe got down on His knees and washed His disciples' dirty feet! This was a job that servants did, but Jesus, the Son of God, did it to show His love. He said, 'I have set you an example. You should serve others just as I have served you.' Jesus showed that true greatness comes from serving others with humility.
How to Practice Humility
- Don't brag about your accomplishments
- Help with tasks that no one else wants to do
- Celebrate others' successes without being jealous
- Admit when you're wrong and say sorry
- Put others' needs before your own wants
