A quote on humility, and a quick lemony snack

Pastor Joshua's definition of true humility has been on my mind since his sermon on Sunday.
I quote him loosely:

True humility is not thinking lowly of yourself,
but rather thinking NOTHING about yourself,
and ALL and ONLY about Jesus.

False humility can creep in when we focus on our own self-effort and natural limitations.
True humility isn't denying our human weaknesses, but rather, fixing our our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith. He has called us "a new creation". We shouldn't focus on what we aren't or can't do, but rather focus and glory in His strength which is made perfect in our weaknesses.

I think that definition puts humility into the right perspective.
