Welcome to “From the Well to the World.” I’m your host, Pastor Dee.

Let’s talk about humility. It’s easy for our humility to be shallow if we don’t understand what it really means. Jesus said, “Learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart” (Matthew 11:29). He showed us that true humility is active—it’s letting God work in us and through us.

Philippians 2:8 says, “He humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death.” That’s the life Christ calls us to—a life surrendered to God, not to our own pride.

Romans 11:36 reminds us, “For from him and through him and to him are all things.” We’re simply vessels for God’s goodness. And James 1:17 says, “Every good and perfect gift is from above.” So, let’s choose daily to surrender to that deepest humility, which is the secret of the truest happiness, of a joy that nothing can destroy.
