Humility - entering the service of the Lord

12/20/2011

Being humble does not consist in constantly belittling oneself and saying, ‘I am nothing, I am worthless.’ True humility lies in putting the Divinity first within oneself in order to manifest all its virtues and riches. But how many are able to understand such a truth? And because they have not understood it, they eventually stand up before the Lord and even try to take his place. But in doing so they belittle themselves and fade into insignificance. Although human beings are such imperfect creatures, their greatness lies in their understanding that, in spite of their inadequacies, they can work wonders, if only they give the Lord first place in their head and in their heart. Without the Lord they cannot go very far; no matter what they do, it will be human, mediocre. This is what you must understand, and you must do everything to allow the Lord in, to let him manifest through you and take you into his service. That is true humility!
