Someone said, you need to fail miserably before you discover how deeply you need God and people -- and the more you need humility in your life. If humility is a barometer, what are its barometers?
- Thinking your opinion or behavior is superior than most others’ opinions or behavior.
- Wanting your own way: even in the stupid, small things of life.
- Arguing on -- even when it's obvious you’re wrong -- or when you are right, acting badly about it.
- Inserting your opinion when its your heart people need to see.
- Forgetting that it is God Who gives you all the stuff and gifts you "possess" and He can also take them away.
- Using “I” much more than "you" in conversations.
- Saying things that smack of “false humility” -- so others will really think you're really humble!
- Making excuses when you get corrected
- Hiding your faults
- Being hurt when others get recognized and you don’t
- Never volunteering to do the menial tasks (or being willing to do them when no one's watching!)
