Modesty
By T. S. Candee on January 13, 2025 in The Power of Prayer
To be humble is to have a low estimate of oneself. Humility retires itself from the public gaze. It does not seek publicity, neither does it care for prominence. It never exalts itself in the eyes of others or even in the eyes of itself. Modesty is one of its most prominent characteristics.
In humility there is the total absence of pride, and it is far-removed from anything like self-conceit. There is no self-praise in humility. Rather, it has the disposition to praise others. It is willing to take the lowliest seat and prefers those places where it will be unnoticed. Humility is meek behavior, a submissive spirit and a modest heart.
Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another
