Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

James 4:10

The old saying “you got to give a little to gain a lot” is so true in life. When we hoard what we have, it becomes stale and useless in its abundance. But when we share what we have, it spreads God’s blessings to those in need. God has a purpose for things He has allowed to come into your life. Learning to be submissive to His will and freely giving to others shows you have God’s interest in mind and a heart after Christ.

To be humble, is just the opposite of being full of pride. I can’t stand to be around a prideful person. They are so full of themselves with little concern for anyone except themselves. On the flip side, a person who has a humble spirit always puts others before himself and sees the needs of others. When we live our life in a state of humbleness, we serve God through our actions and kind words. God takes care of those who spread the wealth of their blessings to others. When we willingly give of our time, money or serve in some capacity, God sees that and will bless you more so you can continue serving Him with the resources He provides.

What’s holding you back from being a humble servant? I truly believe the more things of the “world” in your life, result in a less humble heart and no desire to share what you posses. If you find it difficult to surrender your heart to the trait of being humble, ask God to soften your heart and find yourself wanting less and giving more to those around you. This world needs more Christians giving of themselves, instead of hoarding God’s blessings. Take steps to walk in complete humbleness and God will richly bless you! God bless friend!
