Humbleness

Definition: In the Bible, humbleness, or humility, is the quality of having a modest view of one’s importance, being free from pride, and showing a spirit of submission and respect to God and others. Humbleness is seen as a virtue that reflects a person’s acknowledgment of their dependence on God and their willingness to serve others.
