The God-Shaped Life: A Bold Humility (#896)

The final characteristic of a life shaped by God that Kyle and Wayne are exploring in this series is bold humility. In our culture, boldness is often associated with pushy arrogance and humility with quiet reserve. Neither serves God's purposes in the world. But those who are learning how loved they are also know how little they know of all that God is. While they are confident in the things God shows them, they have no will to push themselves on others. Recognizing that they have no responsibility to change the world or anyone in it, they can still point to the light in ways that give even their detractors the best opportunity to recognize it.  This is especially true when others are disfiguring God with their false teachings and lack of love and honesty.
