On the Path of Humility, we will encounter a series of factors that shape us and help us grow. The more gifts, favor, and privileges God grants us, the more difficult it becomes to live in humility. Humility is the perfect balance between having and living.
In a world full of inequality and with limited opportunities, we need to strengthen the virtue of humility through simplicity, modesty, meekness, service, and brokenness. Pride, boasting, arrogance, and anger are fashionable in speech, on social media, in families, and sadly, within the Church.
This book is a call for every Christian to walk in humility in order to model Jesus to the world. Humility makes us great in the kingdom. The more we depend on God, the less ego and pride are reflected in our moral conduct, thoughts, and feelings.
Recognizing God in all our ways must be the guiding principle by which we live; "God gives me everything, God made me, and God did it" should be continuous and sincere expressions to keep us humble and transparent.
False humility is recognizable; it always hides behind religion, frustration, and emptiness. We do nothing to be seen, we do nothing to be applauded or rewarded, everything is for God and to glorify Him.
It is a path of falling and rising again, because the struggle with the flesh is not easy, but neither is it impossible. Jesus said, "Take heart, I have overcome the world." Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it (Matthew 7:13-14). These verses speak of two paths, the wide path that leads to destruction and the narrow path that leads to eternal life.
The path of humility is a narrow, difficult, and challenging path, but it leads to eternal life; It represents a lifestyle of sacrifice, righteousness, and obedience to God.
