The Advent of Humility
Tim Keller writes about humility.
And so we vow not to talk or act like that. If we then notice "a humble turn of mind" in ourselves, we immediately become smug--but that is pride in our humility. If we catch ourselves doing that we will be particularly impressed with how nuanced and subtle we have become. Humility is so shy. If you begin talking about it, it leaves. To even ask the question, "Am I humble?" is to not be so. Examining your own heart, even for pride, often leads to being proud about your diligence and circumspection.
So let us preach grace till humility just starts to grow in us.
