Humility

"A man is humble when he stands in the truth
with a knowledge and appreciation for himself as he really is."
The Cloud of Unknowing


Christ, though he was in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
something to be grasped.

Rather, he emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
coming in human likeness;
and found human in appearance,
he humbled himself,
becoming obedient to death,
even death on a cross.

Because of this,
God greatly exalted him
and bestowed on him the name
that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bend,
of those in heaven
and on the earth
and under the earth,
and every tongue confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of
God the Father.

Philippians 2:6-11
