Tests Of True Humility

In his book, Embracing Brokenness, Alan E. Nelson offers his thoughts on humility and several ways to spot a humble spirit.

1. Humility does not demand its own way.
2. Humility exudes an attitude of service.
3. Humility does not seek attention or credit.
4. Humility forgives when offended, but is hard to offend.
5. Humility does not criticize others.
6. Humility produces a teachable spirit.
7. Humility is gracious and thankful.

"Humility is the best soil test for showing us whether we've embraced brokenness."

The following is found in both James 4:6 and 1Peter 5:5:  God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

Are you humbling yourself?  Are you walking with humility?
