It is said that humility is truth and Jesus is truth, therefore, the one thing that will make us most Christlike is humility. Hiding the gifts of God has given you or doing your work in an inefficient way is not humility.
Say this little prayer often: “Jesus, you said that anything we ask in your name will be granted. Therefore, in your name and for love of you, I ask you to grant me the grace to love you only, the grace to make my heart like yours, meek and humble.”
–Mother Teresa, Thirsting for God
Find your gifts and share them with humility….

poetry, articles, thoughts, and quotes... on a quest to be authentic in my motherhood, sisterhood, and daughterhood, but i can tend to become Juvenalian sometimes, maybe in writing but also in life, reading Swift's "A Modest Proposal" as if i were hearing a friend speak to me about the how ridiculous some ideas can become, especially when they begin to drift into reality, mocking all of us really... i identify with Mary Magdalene, James, and Peter and am extremely grateful for that woman who said, "Yes!"...oh and i can be pretty lame...blessings to you, dear reader...pray for a single mother, her children, and the father of her children today!

My spiritual director told me that humility is realizing the talents you have come from God and using them for His glory, not yours.
Exactly!
Hear, hear!
