Is it easy to humble thyself and ask for forgiveness or not to be prideful or boast what we have? Well, God teaches us to be humble and the Bible proves that, too.

1 Peter 5:6"Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you."

Being humble might be difficult but God wants us to humble ourselves and do good. He promised us to receive His rewards to those people who are humble. Being humble means showing modesty, respect and dignity despite we have something we can be proud of. 

Ephesians 4:2  "Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love."

Being humble will help you find and show love, too. Be patient, be humble and the Bible promised us that we will receive God's gifts.

Philippians 2:3  "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves."

Do not think of abusing or taking advantage of your brother or sister. Though, they are showing humbleness, you need to copy it and not take advantage about it. God wants us to be humble so much, as humble as Him as He offered His own sn Jesus just to die for us.
