My Beloved Children,
I want to speak to you today about something close to My heart: humility. It’s a virtue that often goes against the grain of the world’s values, but it is essential for living a life that truly honors Me and reflects My love.
In Philippians 2:3-4, I say, "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others." These words are a call to live differently, to rise above the pride and self-centeredness that so easily entangle human hearts.
Humility starts with understanding who you are in relation to Me. I am your Creator, your Sustainer, and your Savior. Every breath you take, every blessing you receive, comes from My hand. Recognizing this truth is the foundation of a humble heart. When you see Me for who I am, you begin to see yourself more clearly—not as self-sufficient or superior, but as deeply loved and wholly dependent on My grace.
Living in humility means acknowledging your limitations and weaknesses. It’s not about thinking less of yourself, but about thinking of yourself less. It’s about putting others first, just as My Son, Jesus, did. He left the glory of heaven, took on human flesh, and humbled Himself to the point of death—even death on a cross (Philippians 2:5-8). He is your ultimate example of humility, showing you that true greatness comes through serving others.
In your daily lives, humility will manifest in various ways. It will shape your relationships, fostering kindness, patience, and forgiveness. It will guide your actions, leading you to serve others selflessly and to seek the well-being of your neighbors. It will influence your thoughts, helping you to stay grounded in gratitude and to resist the lure of pride.
Humility is not always easy. The world around you often celebrates arrogance, self-promotion, and dominance. But remember, My ways are not the world’s ways. I oppose the proud but give grace to the humble (James 4:6). When you choose humility, you align yourself with My heart, and I lift you up in due time (1 Peter 5:6).
Cultivating humility requires intentionality. Spend time in My Word, allowing it to shape your perspective and priorities. Pray for a humble heart, asking Me to reveal any areas of pride or self-centeredness. Seek out opportunities to serve others, even in small, unseen ways. And be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry (James 1:19), recognizing that everyone you encounter is precious in My sight.
As you walk in humility, you will experience My peace and presence in profound ways. You will find joy in lifting others up and in seeing My love work through you. You will become more like Jesus, embodying the servant-heartedness that defines My Kingdom.
My dear children, embrace humility. Let it be the hallmark of your lives, drawing others to Me and bringing glory to My name. Remember, I am with you every step of the way, giving you the strength and grace you need to live humbly and faithfully.
With All My Love,
Your Heavenly Father
