Love Is Humble

 

Love Is Humble 

" Love is not arrogant " 1Corinhians 3:4

Love is not arrogant, this implies the nature of humility in love. In demonstrating love ,one of the things a person does is to humble himself or herself to do some things or to undergo some process that demands humility. 

For instance Jesus was demonstrating love for humanity when " he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. " Philippians 1:8   The love that Christ had for human beings prompted this form of humility in his heart. 

The word of God made us to understand that Jesus is equal with God in every thing, yet, " who being in the  form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God. But made himself of no reputation and took upon him the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men ." Philippians 2:6-7 Jesus demonstration of love for us is seen in this very scripture as he humbled himself. 

First Jesus was in the  form of God, that means he was equal with God, yet he choose to " make himself of no reputation ",that is humility and took upon him the form of a servant, " that is humility and he was made in the likeness of men " can you imagine God who turns  human, that is total humility and this was the nature of love that he has for humanity to be saved .Show me a person who is in love and I will show you a humble person. 

Love can humble people and make them to do mean and ordinary things that, they wouldn't do under normal circumstances. To humble means you decisively submit yourself under someone or something that shouldn't control or rule you. So love displays this character of humility so that it can accomplish it's mission of caring and helping the beloved .

No one can show real love without actually humbling himself and submitting to circumstances, people or situations that challenge love being demonstrated. Any time we humble ourselves before people or because of situation, we probably do so out of love for someone or something. 

Prayer Confession 

I choose to love ,therefore  henceforth I choose to be humble in everything and everywhere I go in Jesus name.  AMEN
