In the Gospel of John you can see the wonderful humility of Jesus where he washes and wipes the legs of his disciples. I never quite understood that event till i read it last time, thats when i read the lines after these verses that tells us to see others above us.
Now this 'see others above you' statement can be taken in different ways by people.One such harmful way is when we place ourselves too low, this way we loose our chances, some times get inferior and discouraged too.I feel what we really need to do is stay where you are, as in don't place yourselves below anyone but place them above you( i hope you get it). Its more like respecting every other human around you, that way your not forcing your self to be humble but you are by choice.
When your about to get in que or take a seat in a bus, what would you do if someone else wanted to do the same and you both acted together? Why don't you let go and let them go ahead, be the good guy. That doesn't mean you let go of what you want to do and let the others run over you but you'll know when its fine to just let go (In fact i think its best to let go as many times as possible but yea..)
Most of the time we don't want to let go because we want to show the others that we are better or that we can have it our way, now thats what i told 'let others be above you', you don't have to show them your better than them. Both of you were created by the same God, you have been gifted with your own individual uniqueness, maybe the other person doesn't realise but you do know so why be the spoilsport when you can be that nice person.
Jesus stays where he is, what i mean to say is he is God, he is supreme over everything yet he is humble..He sees all our troubles above everthing, he wants our happiness, he cares for us. He took our well being above his, He took the suffering we were supposed to go through on himself. He gave his life for us and he is our GOD. Where more do you want to search or learn humility from?
