Choosing Humility in an Arrogant World
The humble can wait patiently, while the arrogant wants it now!
The humble demonstrates kindness, while the arrogant doesn't even notice the need.
The humble are content, not jealous or envious, while the arrogant feel they deserve more.
The humble honors and esteems the other, while the arrogant brags on himself.
The humble does not act unbecomingly, while the arrogant's manners are rude.
The humble shows a servant spirit, while the arrogant demands to be served.
The humble are not easily provoked, while the arrogant are quick to take offense.
The humble quickly forgive a wrong suffered, while the arrogant can't rest until they even the score.
By H. Dale Burke and Jac La Tour, from "A Love That Never Fails"
