humility defined

This just in from Dan Wilt...

Humility is an accurate perception of your strengths and weaknesses, given in submission to God for the benefit of others.

True humility builds community; humility is made to go somewhere.

We die to our own I sense of right and wrong, for the sake of developing us.

We are called to live in a subversive humility — a humility that is an affront to the self-absorption of the age.

The secret motive behind so much of our chatting and talkativeness is a hidden attempt to glorify ourselves. Humility is our fight against this.

What more could I possibly add?
