"syndoulos"

If pride is the self-centered disposition to determine one’s own reality, to be god of one’s own life, to say in every act and word, ‘My will be done,’ then humility cannot be merely the ability to forget one’s self (that is, to be self-uncentered) or even less the ability to be self-pitying, which is really just pride in reverse; rather, humility is the ability to find one’s center in the God whose overwhelming loveliness and glory are able to dethrone us from the usurped lordship of our own darkened hearts. Humility is spiritual sanity. Its constant refrain is, ‘God is God and I am not.’
