We all know the dangers of being arrogant and prideful, but did you know that some so-called humility can be equally destructive? True humility is not constantly running yourself down or belittling yourself. Neither is it dragging yourself around with a long face and slumped shoulders with the words, "woe is me" repeatedly falling from your lips. That kind of self-deprecating behavior only draws greater attention to the supposedly "humble one," which is the very definition of pride. The kind of humility that God desires is when we recognize that everything we have and everything we are is a gift from Him and then we thank Him for those gifts.
