Galatians 5:22-23 tells us, “The Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility and self-control.” You encompassed the eighth fruit of the Spirit, humility. Often Humbleness is interchanged with “Meekness” .We tend to mistake meekness for weakness. But nothing could be further from the truth. Meekness means we are teachable and responsive in our relationship with God as well as humble, gentle and respectful in our relationship with people. Outside of Jesus, you were the ultimate example of humility. Never showing self-serving pride. Continuously serving more than seeking to be served. Jesus was not weak, docile, repressed or unambitious and neither were you. You humbled yourself all the way to the gates of heaven just as Jesus did all the way to the cross. If at times you felt invisible to the ones you loved the most, you were never invisible to God. You are his eighth fruit of the spirit.
