The ultimate paradox: Exalt yourself and be humbled. Humble yourself, and be lifted up. Put others first, care for their concerns, and live a life of true significance. #humility #exaltation #othersfirst #leadership #inspiration

"Our intellect is, taking it all in all, a passive faculty; one is intellectually strong in proportion as one is receptive."

Outward but Inner Path 8/10 🌀 Adam I alone is not enough. Without humility, depth, and soul commitment, even great achievements ring hollow. Agency is the missing anchor. #Agency #Humility #Depth #EmberhartPodcast

Outward but Inner Path 2/10 🌄 The cure for pride isn’t more approval — it’s higher joys. To rise, we must say no to lesser pleasures and open ourselves to greater ones. #Humility #Joy #Values #GirlDad

Pride often fuels sinful behavior, driving the desire to appear superior and fit in. This can lead to poor choices and a reluctance to admit wrongdoings. Overcoming pride is essential for genuine change. #pride #sin #repentance #humility #character #shorts

In humility is the greatest freedom.
As long as you have to defend the imaginary self that you think is important, you lose your peace of heart. As soon as you compare that shadow with the shadows of other people, you lose all joy, because you have begun to trade in unrealities, and there is no joy in things that do not exist.

— Thomas Merton

- I am amazed that this instance is still open. I didn't close it. Ah well. Just started using other fediverse services and mastodon instances

Jesus shares a parable of two men praying at the temple. One is a Pharisee who boasts of his own righteousness, while the other is a tax collector who humbly asks for mercy. Discover the true path to being right with God. #parable #Jesus #humility #faith #prayer

Christianity emphasizes humility, focusing on God's work, not personal achievements. Many engage in work-righteous acts, but salvation comes through faith, not deeds. True faith is putting all your trust in Jesus Christ. #Christianity #humility #faith #JesusChrist
