To be humble in heart . . . is to be submissive to the core. It involves being more interested in serving the needs of others than in having one’s own needs met.
From Philippians 2:3-4: “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others.”
your words resonate deeply Richard, and that means serving those of any faith!

Humbleness is a very beautiful trait to have and misunderstood by many. It’s gentle strength.
