Many people have this idea that a person who is humble will act shy, and try to avoid recognition, that they have to avoid doing anything that might be seen as showing off. Others will state that they are nothing, or that their accomplishments are nothing.
However, people can appear humble and yet not be. My goal is not to point this out, but rather I will suggest that the results will speak for themselves. A person who is faking humility will pretend they don't want attention, all the while drawing attention. But a person who is humble will be quick to praise God, and to recognize good works in others.
True humility is seeing ourselves as we are. We are all valuable in God's eyes, but we must also see that we are not perfect. God loves us dearly, but that does not justify our sins and weaknesses. Only by becoming humble can we learn to submit to truth and start to perfect our characters.
