A friend and colleague posted on humility yesterday.  (ouch!)

This morning I was in Hearing God, an excellent but often overlooked or unknown contribution by Dallas Willard, as part of my devotional reading.  Again the subject of humility:

“God will gladly give it to us if, trusting and waiting on him to act, we refrain from pretending we are what we know we are not, from presuming a favorable position for ourselves in any respect and from pushing or trying to override the will of others in our context.”

No pretending.

No Presuming.

No Pushing.

(Ouch again!)
