The grace to be humble towards others
Question: What does it mean to be a humble person ---to truly be humble within?
God’s answer:
Meaning: You do not put other people down not do you put yourself down to appear humble.
Question: What did you mean by this parable in Luke 14: 7-14?
He told a parable to those who had been invited, noticing how they were choosing the places of honor at the table.
“When you are invited by someone to a wedding banquet, do not recline at table in the place of honor. A more distinguished guest than you may have been invited by him, and the host who invited both of you may approach you and say, ‘Give your place to this man,’ and then you would proceed with embarrassment to take the lowest place.
Rather, when you are invited, go and take the lowest place so that when the host comes to you he may say, ‘My friend, move up to a higher position.’ Then you will enjoy the esteem of your companions at the table.
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Then he said to the host who invited him, “When you hold a lunch or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or your wealthy neighbors, in case they may invite you back and you have repayment. Rather, when you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
God’s answer:
Meaning: Don’t be a VIP is about the person wanting to sit at a table in the place of honor. No one is beneath you is about who one invites.
This is my personal prayer to God:
“God make me humble but do not humble me.”
