Embracing humility does not diminish us, it refines us.

Philippians 2:5-8 GW
5 Have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. 6 Although he was in the form of God and equal with God, he did not take advantage of this equality. 7 Instead, he emptied himself by taking on the form of a servant, by becoming like other humans, by having a human appearance. 8 He humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, death on a cross.

John 3:16 NIV
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Our actions will follow Jesus, based on our trust in Jesus.

4 Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life.

1 Peter 5:5-6 NIV
5 In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” 6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
