Good morning, Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. Being humble is so very hard for some folks to do. We definitely could use some humility in our government these days. It seems like when folks are supposed to be servants, that the power bestowed upon them becomes overwhelming and they forget who serves whom. When we humble ourselves before God, his Holy Spirit will help us to do better at being humble to others. Many folks simply do not know how to go about that. I offer the below link for guidance. Have a blessed day today and always.

The best leaders I've ever encountered were also very humble.
