"Humility leads to exaltation; pride, downfall."
Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. Matthew 23:12.
It is a reminder that God works to humble those who try to exalt themselves. At the same time, God works to lift up those who serve and honor others with a humble heart. Apostle Paul says that Jesus was God, and yet, out of His great love for us, He chose to come to earth as a human. Jesus even chose to obey God the Father to the point of a painful death on the cross for our sins. Jesus is the perfect example of humility, and we are called to follow His example. People with humility put the needs of others first before their own, sacrificing their desires and ambitions. Apostle Paul says in Philippians 2:3, "Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself."
