What is your practice of humbling yourself before others? Or do you look at your boss and think and act as if you know better? Is your humility an act to get a hearing, to get what you want? Is your practice of servant leadership done out of a heart for Jesus and other people or a method to get ahead?
Do you gossip or put down others when they are not present, yet while in their presence they see you acting humble and honoring? When you are hurt are you able to hold your negative feelings back so that your are able to go to the one who hurt you with restraint, humility yet “care-frontation”? Can you serve your enemies and pray for the best for them?
Such questions are important heart checks for every Christ Follower.
Love these thoughts and questions!!! Please keep challenging us!!! How do we get to where we should be? What must we understand, believe, change in ourselves and "take to heart" before we are willing and able to answer these questions in the positive? How do we get past selfishness and fear?
