Humility...

“If then there is any encouragement in Christ, any consolation from love, any sharing in the Spirit, any compassion and sympathy, make my joy complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others. Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 2:1-5

My grandmother used to say that she didn’t have wrinkles, she had laugh lines. In this world and time of ‘youthfulness’ and ‘Botox’, it is truly a counter cultural statement. No one wants wrinkles, but maybe we all need a few ‘laugh lines’. Humility is a quality that is often overlooked. Some think that humility is weak and powerless. Jesus showed us at the cross that what looks weak actually has the greatest power. Humility laughs in the face of pride and aggression. Humility probably gives a person many – lines.

Go ahead, laugh.
