A Spirit of Humility

Galations 5: 22-23 from the Good News

But the Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self control.  There is no law against such things as these.

The fine line between confidence and arrogance is humility, "the quality or condition of being humble; modest opinion or estimate of one's own importance, rank".
If you are confident in your abilities it's just a matter of moving forward and getting it done but the one that seems to lack confidence finds it necessary to boast and brag about what they can accomplish.


“Let someone else praise you, not your own mouth—a stranger not your own lips.” Proverbs 27:2
Pride is all about me, but confidence is the realization the God has given me abilities and created me to fill a unique role that no one else is called to fill. This is the role that will help a team and impact others.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.  Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also the interests of others.  Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus…”  Philippians 2:3-5

Choose to serve rather than be served.
