Humility

By Christian Advocate

HUMILITY is a virtue to be longed for, sought, and prayed for, but it is not one to be paraded. There is something incongruous, almost self-contradictory, in a profession of humility. To be sure, our Lord spoke of Himself as "meek and lowly in heart," but He also challenged His enemies to bring any charge of sin against Him. He was superior to our ordinary human infirmities and limitations, and could, therefore, without ostentation, say of Himself many things which we dare not say of ourselves. Let us diligently cultivate lowliness of heart, but let us be on our guard lest we grow proud of our success in attaining it.—Christian Advocate.
