Humility

Now the man Moses was very humble, more humble than all men who were on the face of the earth.
(Numbers 12:3)

I have no chance of being a person and being humble without God. I get in the way of so many good things in my life. It seems my ego is bent on destroying myself and everything around me.
In my late teens and early twenties, the self-destruction was intentional. Now, I just see myself thwarting joy and success because I am simply afraid. Afraid to fail. Afraid to succeed. Stuck in a safe spot of nothingness where my ego is safe and I never grow.
A false humility has been my safe harbor. It was false because it was not based in total truth. It was a humility that denied my existence.
I am as real and as broken as the next person. Not exceptionally broken, just broken.
True humility will only exist in me when I truly see myself as I am and trust God to heal my brokenness. There is no other way.
