Alma 62: 49-51

Alma 32

General Conference Address:  

“Pride and the Priesthood” Elder Dieter F Uchtdorf CR 10/2010

Thought:

"If the Lord was meek and lowly and humble then to become humble, one must do what he did in boldy denouncing evil, bravely advancing righteous works, courageously meeting every problem, becoming the master of himself and the situations about him and being near oblivious to personal credit. Humble and meek properly suggest virtues, not weaknesses. They suggest a consistent mildness of temper and an absence of wrath and passion. Humility suggests no affectation, no bombastic actions. It is not turbid nor grandiloquent. It is not servile submissiveness. It is not cowered nor frightened. No shadow or the shaking of the leaf terrorizes it. How does one get humble? To me, one must constantly be reminded of his dependence. On whom dependent? On the Lord. How remind oneself? By real, constant, worshipful, grateful prayer." Pres. Kimball. BYU Speeches "Humility" 16 Jan 1963

Misc:

Being humble doesn’t mean thinking less of yourself. It means thinking about yourself less.  

Invitation: 

Write down a definition of humility as you understand it, and then find a new scripture about it to help you remember what humility is and how to get and remain humble. Only in humility do we find real strength.
