HumilitySample

7) Accept insults and injuries when directed your way

Don't take things personally. When someone throws insults your way, be assured the problem they are dealing with is not you, it's something else.

8) Accept being slighted, disliked, or forgotten

We all have a human need to be relevant.

But sometimes life moves on and, well...we aren't as relevant as we once were. Recently I saw a bumper sticker that made me laugh out loud. "I used to be cool."

If you ever left a job and then returned a month later to visit and nobody remembered you...it's nobody's fault. Life just moves on.

So when your coffee barista forgets your name, or the store clerk is rude, and people don't return your calls like they used to...don't take it personally. Accept it and say, "But of course...this is normal. It's not about me."

9) Be kind, even when provoked

Being kind, even when provoked, allows you to be a positive force in people's lives.

The act of being kind brings meaning to your life and rubs off on others. After all, it's difficult to stay angry with someone if they respond with kindness.

Humility will come from knowing God more intimately. One way to do that is to memorize and meditate on His Word. These verses are some of the 500+ from 48+ topics in the MemLok Bible memory system.
