The fairest flower

Genuine humility isn't something we can announce very easily. To claim this virtue is, as a rule, to forfeit it. Humility is the fairest and rarest flower that blooms. Put it on display and instantly it wilts and loses it's fragrance. No, humility is not something to be announced. It simply belongs in one's life, in the private journal of one's walk with God.

Let's look up at the Virgin Mary and her humility...

There are two simple and quick ways God says the true condition of the heart is revealed. The first is through the eyes and the second is through the mouth. Keen counselors and wise people are careful to listen to words and watch the eyes of the others. You soon discover that the heart is like a well and the eyes are the tongue are like buckets that draw water from the same well. If true humility is not in the heart, the eyes will show it.
