“If a person truly knows God, they will not be in a hurry to prove themselves; if a ministry truly comes from God, it does not need to rely on human praise. Humility is not about belittling oneself, but about placing oneself outside the position that God deserves.”

Zhang Peiqian · Sermon Compilation

Scripture

Romans 12:3 Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought to think, but soberly according to the measure of faith that God has assigned to each person.

Reflection

Pastor Zhang Peiqian reminded me that those who truly know God are not in a hurry to prove themselves. Romans also teaches me to consider myself in a sober way, according to the faith God has given me. In my ministry, I often unknowingly cross the line, either overestimating myself or using self-reproach to mask pride. True humility is not usurping God's position, nor denying His commission, but simply standing quietly in the place God has given me to serve.
