Do nothing according to selfish ambition or according to empty conceit, but in humility considering one another better than yourselves, each of you not looking out for your own interests, but also each of you for the interests of others.

Philippians 2:3-4 (Lexham English Bible)

Humility is a difficult virtue to embrace because it is often seen as a weakness in our present culture, which champions and endorses those with an exaggerated feeling of self-importance. Even as Christians, we find it much easier to remember the names of famous persons and celebrities than the names of Jesus' twelve disciples.

The Apostle Paul encourages us to learn from Christ's humility—despite being equal with God, he humbled himself as a lowly servant to serve us. Similarly, even though we are sons and daughters of the Most High, we are to regard ourselves as servants to serve others for the sake of His Name.

Considering others better than ourselves is a work of grace, not self-effort. Remember, this is not self-abnegation or fake modesty. It all comes down to putting others first for the glory of God and loving them like Jesus does. It is about selflessly serving and caring for others through acts of kindness and love. It is about being a blessing in people's life rather than seeking recognition.

Humility kills our pride and hidden agendas.

Learn to serve others in a humble manner, especially the least and weakest who cannot repay you for your efforts. If we do anything for selfish reasons or for personal gain, we are missing out on what God truly intended when He urged us to live humbly before Him so that He may exalt us in due time.

We will produce the good fruits of humility when we rest on God’s grace. We become more and more like Jesus, who gave up everything for us, as we grow in humility. Everything we do after that is done with joy and sincerity because we are serving God by serving others.
