Humility is truth -the truth about who we are and the truth about Who God is. Often when people think of humility they think of what the saints would call false humility -when a person defaces himself or pretends to be lowly solely for show. But real humility should empower us -because within a heart filled with God's virtue of humility, we have the knowledge of our own dependence on God and the confidence of the Love He has for us as His children who He wants to be well-provided for. In light of this, humility doesn't always have to be silent or inactive, instead it can be like Mary on Her road to visit Elizabeth -She was aware of Her need for God's protection and guidance and yet she allowed Her faith (and confidence in God's provisional love) to be her foundation as She set forth alone in order to help her cousin. Real humility is set in the security of God's Love and sets us off in heroic and courageous ways to do God's will. Be boldly humble today:
