Who wants humility? It’s not a trait that’s of value anymore. There is a nice “definition” of humility in the Bible:

“Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive” (Colossians 3:12-13).

Example
The example given in this verse is a tough act to follow. The words “as the Lord has forgiven you” brings up thoughts of our own sins and failures. But Christ is our benchmark.

Training
We’ve got to train ourselves to Forgive since that is not the natural human inclination. Whenever someone offends you, remind yourself of Christ’s example. Though you may not always react as Christ did, continue reminding yourself at the moment of offense.

You’ll struggle with your responses, but persist anyway. Allow the example of Christ to gradually change your thoughts, emotions, and actions.
