Humility Is Not A Denier Of Personality. by philoedu(m): 3:23pm On Nov 03, 2018
In the Gospel of Luke 14; 11, it said that-“everyone who exalt himself will be humbled and the one who humbled himself will be exalted”. Humility in Christian perspective is the true measure of knowledge of God, and therefore, any true Christian, no matter how desirable and great in his intellect, humility remains one of the elements that must stand out in our practical life. In fact, there is a saying that it takes but a moment to be baptized, but a decade to become a Christian.

This is could be true, because conversions come to depend very much on the grace we receive in our prayer life through love and services, and in other word, faith without work is nothing. For those of us believers, it is not, overstatement to say that it is out of humility, that Jesus wash the feet of his disciples, of which the disciples may not have understood at the time. Therefore, humility has its root from a plane outside of our everyday thought and observations. It is probably the singular reason, the ordinary consciousness of man, almost refuse to sanction due to the intrinsic feeling of humiliation that we often witness as a conflict, to embrace the gesture of humility.

The same is true, it has become the very testing ground, and a moment that bring us face to face to the awareness of divinity that overshadow human consciousness at any given time. Of cause, it is the moment of our heart surrender to the beneficent prompting that tends to upset any preconceived ideas, thought and actions. In fact, it is one of the reasons of the outright rejection of what looks like a refused limitation and pride of the intellectual self in the falsification of reason that only very few are willing and able to spare any comprehensive spirit upon its culture.

The same is true, because it has the nature of a forbidden fruit, and opposed to what is unpopular, firmly established and highly prized commodity in the journey from a plane outside man himself. It must be emphasized that humility is one of the supreme value of virtue, being misunderstood, but remain a value of virtue in the consciousness and imperatively demanded in the life of man. Because it unlock the very spirit of God in everyone as it unfold the sense of higher value of oneness and love, “in the love your neighbor as yourself” dictum.

The same is true, that through humility, multitude of anxieties, worries and perturbations that held undisputed hitherto, sway in the soul of man, can no doubt, be let loose in the soul of the tyranny as they give way in the life of man at any given time . Of cause, it is often but a mistake to assume that humility stand the chance to forsake the arena of personality, to the extent, of denying the interplay of the forces therein, but on the contrary, it stand the very chance of a renew spirit and power of self-direction with wisdom and insight with the ability to harmonize any opposing vibration of love and pride at any given moment in the life of man.

Humility is the catalyst of a tangible element of a true conversion and feasible to truly lived Christian life of love. The true conversion through which we can begin to pay attention to the ordinary people and to listen to the cry of the less privilege individual among us. But make no mistake, it is an insidious adjustment to make at any given time, but man have all what it take to do it, because our creator could not recommend what is beyond our confine human acceptance. Any adjustment in the human acceptance, must start from the mind with a renew focused not without admirable effort in the adaptation to control the mind out of distraction but of the possible attitude of disobedience and of resentment prevalent around us.
