Rick Warren Quote

The first misconception is that we confuse fear with humility. We tend to say, Oh, I could never do that, and we think we’re being humble. But that is not humility. That is fear; that is a lack of faith. A truly humble person would say, With God’s help, I can do it. With God’s blessing, I will do it. I may not be able to do it on my own, but with God’s help I will do it. That’s real humility.
