Adopt the same attitude as that of Christ Jesus,

who,

existing in the form of God, 

did not consider equality with God as something to be exploited.

Instead 

he emptied himself 

by assuming the form of a servant, 

taking on the likeness of humanity. 

And when he had come as a man, 

he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death - even to death on a cross. 

For this reason God highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow - in heaven and on earth and under the earth - and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:5-11 CSB

Jesus was humble before creation.

Humble in creation.

And humbled by his creation.

Not just humbled, but abused, tortured, rejected.

Aiming for humility is self defeating ("look how humble I am" doesn't quite work lol). Jesus expressed his heart in action. 

What he left, 

what he gave up,

who he chose, 

what he did for those he loves.

One day we will see him restored. 

Glorified.

But his heart will be the same.

Humble.

For us.

Somehow it will be big and glorious, and at the same time up close and personal. 

That's what love is:

Big and glorious, and up close and personal, close enough to see his scars.
