If you were asked what humility is, what would you say? Many people quote Rick Warren in saying that “humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less.” While that’s 100% true, there is another side of humility that most people never look at. Humility isn’t just the recognition that the world doesn’t revolve around you, it’s actually the recognition that there is a specific “you-sized” portion of the universe that God has a purpose for and that person to fill it is you. It’s being content in God’s purpose for your life, regardless of how big or small that role ends up being. This concept comes from the Hebrew word “anavah” which is the Old Testament word used for humility. In fact, the literal definition of anavah is to occupy your God-given space in the world—to not overestimate yourself or your abilities, but to not underestimate them either. So when it comes to our purpose, humility isn’t just the acknowledgement that we are here to serve other people, it’s a mindset of contentment knowing that God has given us what He has chosen to give us and to be okay with that.
