Of course, every humiliation of ours is but a pale shadow of Christ’s humiliation. Comparing whatever we go through to what he did puts our afflictions in proper perspective. This is the beginning of humility. Humility is not, therefore, simply a low regard for oneself; rather, it is a proper view of oneself that is low in comparison to God and in recognition of our own fallenness.32 “Humility is thinking less about yourself, not thinking less of yourself.”
