The natural resources that you enjoy—time, money, intelligence and abilities, social status, political freedom—all of these gifts have been given to you to “seed” the world with other healing plants. So instead of asking “Do I deserve this gift?” humility teaches us to ask, “What has God given and what responsibility do I have because of it?” And by doing so, humility changes the frame of reference entirely. Suddenly we are no longer at the center; God is. Suddenly our sense of entitlement or guilt no longer drives our choices. Suddenly everything is a gift and everything has purpose.
