Heavenletter #4279 True Grace, August 12, 2012
God said:
Humility is no more nor less than knowing you don't have to have your own way.
This is a nice big insight. You don't have to be first in line. You don't have to be first in life.
You are not obsequious, yet you can easily let someone else go first. You can let Me go first, My Will not thine.
This is a great secret to life. The humility I speak of is not about acting modestly, you understand. It is not about a role you play. It is not about being polite. It is not about anything but how you see life and what is important and what is not. You can let life go its way. Life is served, and you can skip along. You can traipse rather than march. You are no longer a foe of life. You are no longer an obstructionist.
Ego sheds itself when you see that you do not have to have everything the way you like it. This is not a compromise. You are not compromising. This is not a let-down. You are simply taking your hands off. This is not biting your tongue. This is not gritting your teeth. This is great freedom. When you come to this place, you come with great joy, for you are freed from having to organize the world to suit you. One more have-to off your shoulders.
