Humility

When I was a young girl, I’d slip my feet into my dad’s boots. They reached my knees or higher, and my feet slipped forward as I stepped and upward as I lifted my feet. He had big shoes to fill, but I felt special to have them on. We’re not going to fit into God’s shoes, but the slipping and sliding is totally worth it. I’d rather fall down and get hurt walking in God’s shoes than wearing anyone else’s! Including mine. Humility reminds us that we don’t fill someone else’s shoes, particularly God’s. We need to watch our steps. We’re going to slip and slide. We need to concentrate. We’ll trip and fall. But it’s an honor to walk in God’s shoes. It helps us keep perspective. Humility is not about putting yourself down. It’s about a proper relationship with God. Let's explore humility together!
