Humility --knowing that all I am is by the grace of God. Humility is more than repentance--it is participating in the life of Jesus by serving; it is being an empty vessel and allowing God to manifest Himself through me; it is learning entire dependence on God.
Adam and Eve were in complete dependence on God until the temptation came to "be like God" that desire destroyed their humility; their dependence on God.
That has been the struggle of man ever since that day in the garden--the desire to be independent; to depend on one's own strengths, decisions and power to be in control-or- to surrender to God and be dependent upon Him. To serve or to be boss--this decides true humility!
