This is truly truly truly my entire life goal.

I want to be humble.

And I want to be full of love.

That’s how I picture my Savior. (And, what I’ve learned about Him from the scriptures.)

Someone who didn’t get offended.

Someone who reacted with emotional maturity.

Someone who invited all to worship Him, and yet showed no pride.

Someone who wasn’t focused on all the injustices in his life.

Someone who noticed the “others”.

Someone who wasn’t focused on fitting in or making good friends.

He was just… a good friend to all.

He just loved and served.

And those are the kinds of servants the Lord wants. He wants humble people who are full of love.

But He’ll also take us as we are right now.

One thing I’ve learned about humility is that it is really only achieved in my life by getting rid of pride.

Whereas gaining love is mostly achieved by seeing others how they truly are.

Ultimately, it’s seeing ourselves and others exactly how Christ sees us.

Understanding our great worth and value, and understanding that we are surrounded by people with the same worth and value.

We aren’t more than or less than anyone else.

Treating everyone like the special Son or Daughter of God that they are.

That’s really what love and humility mean, right?

I know where I stand with God, that knowledge never wavers, and I extend that godly love to all of His children.

I’ll keep working on it!

Happy Studying!
