“The lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest and then becomes a host, and then a master” Kahlil Gibran

“Who has first given to me, that I should repay him?
Whatever is under the whole heaven is mine.” Job41.11 ESV

I think that humility is borne to us on the wings of perspective, that is, the perspective of knowing one’s place in the world. We should remind ourselves everyday that we are living in somebody else’s house, on somebody else’s property, eating somebody else’s food, driving somebody else’s car and literally breathing somebody else’s air. We are but guest in the universe and life itself is a privilege graciously loaned to us by our Creator. When we see life from this point of view, humility is not something attained but realized. And, humility’s fruit is gratitude. 9/16/2008 ts
