Humility

Humility holds these two truths in balance: (1) I am a child of God, made in the image of God, and therefore worthy of dignity and honor, and (2) I am a human being, like every other human being, with weaknesses, limitations and faults. Humility lives in the balance. From this balanced perspective we see the truth about ourselves and about everyone else.
