What would it mean, 'to humble myself?'
A humble person is accountable. He is willing to do his duty. He is willing to admit his failures. He seeks to do all those things with love, peace, kindness and joy.
Over the years I begin to see more value in joy. Not the kind of joy coming forth from all kind of pleasures. But the joy found in a humble life.
Prayer
Jesus, teach me joy in a humble life.
