Humility is recognizing who God has made us to be and using that recognition to serve and redeem others. Living in humility as Jesus did, we don't just practice the golden rule, but we go one step better... we treat others better than we would treat ourselves. Are we instructed to do this because we're unworthy or unfit? No! Jesus was worthy and glorious, but he counted others better than himself when he sacrificially gave himself to redeem them. It's a high standard. It's a hard standard. It is not for wimps. But it is ultimately glorious. I look at how Lanny's mom sacrificed her whole life for her children....especially Michael. God promises that a reward will be given to the faithful! She truly deserves it.
Almighty God, thank you for adopting me as your child and making me holy and precious to you. Please help me to see myself as you do, and then...as one of your precious children please help me to serve others in ways that help them see your glory. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

My dad talks to people all the time and then says the same thing Lanny did! They are two nerds!
