“爱弟兄，要彼此亲热；恭敬人，要彼此推让。”
罗马书 12:10
“Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.”
Romans 12:10
Romans 12:3–21 describes the attitude of humility and love that should permeate our relationships with each other as followers of Jesus. “Don’t cherish exaggerated ideas of yourself or your importance, but try to have a sane estimate of your capabilities by the light of the faith that God has given to you all. . . . Let us have real warm affection for one another as between [family], and a willingness to let the other [person] have the credit” (vv. 3, 10 J.B. Phillips New Testament).
Pride in our past accomplishments can blind us to the gifts of others. Arrogance can poison the future.
John the Baptist, whose mission was to pave the way for Jesus, said, “He must become greater; I must become less” (John 3:30).
That’s a good motto for us all.
I admit, Lord, that I have a lot to learn about humility.
Help me to see You for who You are so You and others have their rightful place in my life.
Always be humble before God and allow Him to be your all in all. Oswald Chambers
