The Equality of Humility

The Equality of Humility

By Andrea Wilburn

Humility is often taught to the young

Not as objective but as personal

Not as equality but as less than

“…You as a person.

Are not to think of You.

As any better than any other…”

And generally “better”

Has its own definition

Meaning the opposite of More Than

As in Less Than

And sometimes it is taught

From fear instead of from love

But you are never Less Than

We all have Equality of value

You may not be More Than

But you are Equal To

Your value is immeasurable

Just as everyone else’s

Be humble towards God

Be mindful to not believe More Than

But never be humble to your purpose

Part of humility to God

Is to know He is Endless

And that His vision for you reflects that

God never puts you in a compartment

God never creates you to destroy you

God is expansive

And so are His plans for you

Just as everyone else’s

Less Than is an open door

Who invites too many limiting beliefs

When you agree with Less Than

You empower your fear instead of your love

You magnify beliefs that will fuel your actions

Which will then continually affirm

You are Less Than indeed

But all that time you could have been

Just as everyone else.

Humility is not helplessness!

Humility is about accepting the grace

That Love and all its victories

Are not only for others

But also as much for you.

You’ve got this!
