“The reason that God puts such a high premium on humility is not simply because he thinks that it is a good characteristic for man to possess. He stresses this trait because it is an integral part of his very personhood and he wants us to express His character. We strive for humility because our goal is to become like Him. It is as we make progress in the arena of humility that we are able to recognize that we are making progress in our spiritual maturity.”
