Hi,
to attain true humility one simply has to keep their mouth shut,lol. The tongue is the rudder to a ship of sin. So no one will ever gain total humility while living in this existence, we are all haughty and prideful. None of us are seeking after God either, we're all just playing at it or doing our level best to be Jesus shaped. If we have any modecome of humility it is because Christ is tempering us from within to make us more like him, for without him we are nothing, and the very best in us, is him in us.
Self-control is a fruit of the spirit, we have little self-control without the spirit of God in us, we are but beasts being herded back into the shed. Humility comes when you least expect it, seek it not, for if you seek it a false humility will be what you find, just be, and let God grow in you daily by reading His word, praying and through benevolent actions, and before you know it someone will tell you that they think you are a humble person.
That's just my humble opinion,lol.
Not a bad synopsis at all; one thing, we do not let GOD do anything. All comes from Above, even to letting us let anything happen. There is no part of the following declarations that say any human let's GOD Or Christ Jesus do anything, none.
The beginning of humility, is when you know (really know) that there is not one shred of anything you can contribute to your own healing and Saving. It All Totally depends on our CREATOR FATHER GOD Through Christ Jesus our Lord And Savior And Everything.Isa 45:6-7 (CLV)6 That they may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is a limit apart from Me. I am Yahweh Elohim, and there is none else."
Isa 45:7 Former of light and Creator of darkness, Maker of good and Creator of evil. I, Yahweh Elohim, made all of these things."
Isa 45:8-15 (GNB) For clarity
8 I will send victory from the sky like rain; the earth will open to receive it and will blossom with freedom and justice. I, the LORD, will make this happen."
9 Does a clay pot dare argue with its maker, a pot that is like all the others? Does the clay ask the potter what he is doing? Does the pot complain that its maker has no skill?
10 Do we dare say to our parents, "Why did you make me like this?"
11 The LORD, the holy God of Israel, the one who shapes the future, says: "You have no right to question me about my children or to tell me what I ought to do!
12 I am the one who made the earth and created human beings to live there. By my power I stretched out the heavens; I control the sun, the moon, and the stars.
13 I myself have stirred Cyrus to action to fulfill my purpose and put things right. I will straighten out every road that he travels. He will rebuild my city, Jerusalem, and set my captive people free. No one has hired him or bribed him to do this." The LORD Almighty has spoken.
14 The LORD says to Israel, "The wealth of Egypt and Ethiopia will be yours, and the tall men of Seba will be your slaves; they will follow you in chains. They will bow down to you and confess, 'God is with you---he alone is God.
15 The God of Israel, who saves his people, is a God who conceals himself.
