A Humble Mind
For by the grace (unmerited favor of God) given to me I warn everyone among you not to estimate and think of himself more highly than he ought [not to have an exaggerated opinion of his own importance], but to rate his ability with sober judgment, each according to the degree of faith apportioned by God to him. Romans 12:3 It is easy to get mixed up about humility. Some people think humility means to have a low opinion of ourselves. Paul says not to have an exaggerated opinion of your own importance, but he doesn't say to have a low opinion. Some people, in an effort to be humble, don't know how to receive compliments graciously. We all need encouragement, compliments, and appreciation. A good way to handle appreciation without getting into pride is to receive it when it is given, then, at the end of the day, take the compliments you receive to Jesus and say to Him, "I know whatever I do that is good or right is the result of Your working in me, so I offer You all the praise I was given today and I thank You for the encouragement." Power Thought: Every compliment I have ever received is because of Jesus. From the book the book Power Thoughts Devotional by Joyce Meyer.
