Jesus had true humility...

That's a 10-4.

DO you know the prayer I mentioned?

Quix will testify:I gave a talk on Veritas to my chapter last December. In the course of it I argued that the Son was always joyfully humble before the Father, and that humility was essential to his being the Truth.

True humility is happy and strong.

Roger that.

Though often enough, true humility

is also quiet and contemplative.

Like Love, it’s
not vaunting itself . . .
not puffed up . . .
not strident . . .
not pushy . . .
not blaming . . .
not rationalizing . . .
not self-justifying . . .
not impatient . . .
not prickly . . .
not thin-skinned . . .
not easily given to hostility except against evil . . .
not put-upon in attitude, spirit, demeanor . . .
not calculating . . .
not manipulative . . .
not coercive . . .
not unnecessarily harsh or unkind . . .
not striving, driven . . .
not prissy . . .
not ostentacious . . .
not given to silly grandstanding . . .

. . .

. . .
Gal 5:22-23
The fruit of The Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience (long suffering)(a quiet mind), kindness (gentleness)(kind acts), goodness (well-doing), faithfulness (faith), gentleness (meekness) and self-control (temperance)(control over desires). Against such things there is no law.
