Affirmation for Humility
from the June 2002 Daily Meditator

The quality of Humility is one of fifty-two selections from J. Donald Walters' book, Affirmations for Self-Healing. Also see individual affirmations for:
      Concentration
      Calmness
      Devotion
      Immortality

Humility is not self-deprecation; it is self- forgetfulness! It is knowing that God alone is the Doer. It is the realization that nothing in this shadow-world of appearances is all that important, except as it draws us closer to the Lord.

Never tell yourself that you are sinful, or weak, or incompetent, or lazy, except as such a statement may help you to surrender joyfully to God's power. Then live by that power! Never wear the mask of false humility. Humility is self-acceptance, and self-honesty. You have a right to all power if you seek it in Infinity, and if you never hold the thought that it resides in your little self.

Affirmation
I live by Thy power, Lord. What I have is ever Thine-ever Thine!

Prayer
Thou art the Doer, Lord, not I. Express Thy perfection through me, as I strive ever eagerly to live in Thy light!
