Humility is not how you dress, it is not the money you make, it is not where you live, it is not what you drive, it is not even how you look. We're once commanded by God to "look" humble. humility is an attitude of the heart. An attitude is in mind. It is knowing your proper place. Never talking down or looking down because someone may be of a financial level less than your's. It is knowing your role and fulfilling it for God's glory and praise. I repeat, it is an attitude.
The attitude Christ is such that He emptied Himself of a voluntary and independent use of His divine attributes. There is no quality more godlike than humility.
The place of highest exaltation as we see in the Lord Jesus Christ, is a place of self-emptying humility. It is not phoney-baloney style of fake piety. It is true humility of mind. It's putting the other person first. It's like being Christ.
