One of My main themes is that you can be greater than you think you are. No, I’ll rephrase that: You ARE greater than you think you are.
There is no doubt about that. Of course, you are far greater than you let on to yourself and to the world.
If you could but know, really know, grasp, see even for a moment, the Greatness that you are, how humbled you would be. In order to act in the good faith of the Greatness of yourself, you have to let a lot go. You are not a stranger to letting go, yet you may not yet be a close friend to it. Often, you resist.
How many times must I tell you about your Greatness and in how many ways? Of course, you are far greater than you credit yourself with, and so is everyone else. Everyone! Made in My image, what can you be but great? You can be great now. Why not? What holds you back? Certainly, not I.
This is not ego-great We speak of. Absolutely not. Humility shines Greatness. Humility makes it possible for your Greatness to reveal itself and to be seen. When you reveal your Greatness, you are not thinking of yourself at all. You are not thinking the least bit about how you are looked upon. In Greatness, you go beyond thoughts of yourself. You transcend yourself, don’t you think?
What is humility but goodness and mercy as a way of life? Not martyr, no, not at all. Humility does not mean humiliated. Yes, please, get out of your way, and you will naturally be humble and allow Greatness to star.
What is so great about humility? With humility, nothing gets in the way of your Greatness. Humility is not abasement. Humility makes room for Greatness. Often in something almost imperceptible, Greatness glows.
To be without ego and over-endowed pride provides a playing field for inspiration. You are meant to inspire. A very little thing, one word, one kindness, reveals Greatness. Humility is awe-inspiring. What a treat it is to be empty of pride and filled with humility which is the absence of ego and self-pride. Please do not equate humility with lowliness. When you are great, and when you know your inherent Greatness, what need of ego could you possibly have? Ego tries to make you big. Ego says that the world must see you as great. No, it is you who has to know your Greatness. Then you are able to be humble. Before Greatness, what can you be but humble? Aware of greater than your little self, you are naturally humble. Perhaps humble is another way to say beyond thought, far-seeing and not at all short-sighted. Yes, you are part of the Universe and the beauty of the Universe. What can you be but humble when you see beauty everywhere?
Humility does not put on a show, why would it?
To be humble is to be yourself without strings attached. It is to be like the air. You give to all freely. Humble, you have come down to basics. You do not ride on anyone’s shoulders but Mine. You sweep before Me, and you sweep after Me, and you are content. What care you to be noted when you serve? It is a pleasure for you to notice Me.
Greatness is no act. Greatness is not a stellar performance. It is a bit-part. You don’t require stardom. What do you have to do with stardom when you are in My Presence?
Humility is being in the center of the Sun that shines on all. What more could you ask for?
