Humility - Putting other's first by giving up what you think you deserve.
Memory Verse: "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves." Philippians 2:3
God designed babies and small children to think "me, me, me" and to be concerned about themselves they demand attention when they need something, otherwise they wouldn't get what they need to thrive! As they mature, they can understand what it is to put themselves in someone else's shoes. Around age 7 they can start to understand the needs of others, but they need an adult's help to learn how to start to put the needs of others first. Jesus is a great example of Humility. He gave up everything for us so that we might live life abundantly.
In our first lesson of Humility we talked about the story of the Last Supper where Jesus washed His disciples feet. As His last "lesson" to them, he taught them humility.
