Humility is a door, among many others in the great labyrinth, which leads us to our divinization, so that we may become little Christs.

We will never be a Christ, little or otherwise. There is only one Christ and that is Jesus The LORD. The idea that we become a Christ is a false doctrine. We must strive to be Christ like but we will never, never be a Christ.

Satan told Eve that she would become as God and he is still telling the same lie today. Thinking that we shall be as God is pride. The first thing one must do to be humble is realize the unfathomable vast difference there is between us and All Mighty God in every way. We are merely the created. He is the Creator. Our words, nor our thoughts can begin to comprehend His perfection or His power.

i have to smile. i’m reminded of the founder of string theory who said that his theory will eventually prove out to be correct because (paraphrasing) it was so obvious to him from the beginning that it had to be right.

Without overcoming ourselves, accepting our faults,

Accepting our faults??? We abhor our faults, sins. We repent in sackcloth and ashes. Our "faults" are the reason Jesus who is/was without fault died the horrific death on the cross for us, paying the price for our sins with His own precious and perfect life. Yes, we do admit our faults and trust that, as The Bible says, Jesus died to take our sins away. We certainly do not accept them.

Most articles on humility get it wrong. The best booklet about what Humility means is Andrew Murray's book: LINK... We aren't humble when we go around saying we are dirt. We are humble when we see ourselves through God's loving eyes.
