Humility is not uniformity. Humility simply means conforming to one purpose without sacrificing individuality. But humility is only possible when unity exists, otherwise you’ll be humble just to yourself. And what’s the challenge in that!
Know humility can manifest itself in acts of service not just for one another, but with each another.
Take for instance people of all walks of life linking arms to serve the flood victims of Houston this week. Together they are all serving humbly for a common cause. Their many glorious acts of humility all honor God’s Will. But no one takes credit.
Only together can we have a significant impact on the world at large anonymously versus doing
great things alone with acclaim.
There is no respect for others without humility in one’s self first. For without a sincere and humble respect for others, it is not possible to play in a truly divine and harmonic space, let alone a collectively as we know that’s simply not possible without humility.
Now because we are full of pride, there may sometimes be no room for humility. That’s when we must dig deeper and find some!
Author C.S. Lewis defines humility in this way: “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less.” So to be humble in any relationship, we must be mindful of the other party just as much, if not more so than ourselves.
We must start from a state of selflessness to move in a spirit of unity though a mechanism of humility.
This is what it means to be living and acting in the Christ mind.
Once we begin stripping away pride as we work side by side to go serve others. It’s like paying it forward twice. Our minds move off of ourselves and onto those in need, as well as helping those we serve with.
What we can achieve as individuals, is nothing compared to what a united philanthropic organization can accomplish together.
In famously quoted scripture 2 Chronicles 7:14, God told Solomon, “If My people who are called by My Name will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
Serving together therefore is a way to “humble ourselves” before God in order to hear His clarion call and ultimately follow His all powerful voice.
Naturally, as individuals prepare to go and serve others in our communities, the Christ mind is on the service about to be carried out and how it will help those being served.
But as new leaders of a global philanthropic movement, we also must be mindful of the needs of those whom we are serving with.
Only if we consider and assist each individual’s role and responsibility, cohesive and effective service can take place.
This last critical and practical step of serving the service works, positions us individually or corporately to be in a constant place of humility–by our own choosing–and like a jealous shadow, unity will always follow humility where it goes.
That is a powerful place to exist because “God rejects the proud BUT gives His grace to the humble.”
This is why it’s healthy to be so passionate about leading your own philanthropic movement into any city or country because you’ll be serving alongside one another equally no matter where you go.
And the synergy of such a humble fellowship elevate all who partake. Both those in need, and those disbursing the mercy, equal. One with Christ.
By serving together, we are positioning ourselves to receive an outpouring of God’s grace.
Imagine what could happen if we all bonded together as a unified and humble team committed to stamping out some common scarcity or sickness that plagues all peoples everywhere in the world?
No plague could last against our humble and unified intent to eradicate it. Not a chance!
By consciously living this such a divine circle of benevolence, we consistently allow ourselves to see evidence that from our humility we can that serve freely as god’s chosen human angels on earth as in heaven.
Sobeit.
In summary, the act of humbling oneself makes unity possible which allows us all to experience God’s grace–individually and collectively–in us, through us, as us and among us all, which ultimately brings the greatest glory to God.
What’s better than humility? Nothing that’s what!
God is with us
