The Virtue of Humility
Also known as: Humbleness
Awareness that all our gifts come from God and appreciation for the gifts of others
Dear Jesus, You said, “Learn from Me, for I am meek and humble of heart” (Matthew 11:29). You are God, yet You became little out of love for me. I desire to become little for love of You. Help me to be honest about my strengths and weaknesses.
- Taking time for prayer; particularly a prayer of gratitude
- Jesus, thank you for all the blessings you have given me.
