I found this painting on the web and thought it let others identify humility in the work of art but also the work of art that is you. Thanks to www.sarahhauer.com
Luke 18:9-14 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector
9To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: 10"Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11The Pharisee stood up and prayed about[a] himself: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.'
13"But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'
14"I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.
Stu: See the tax collector doesn't even look up.
Will: He has cast his head down to be humble and beat the soul (awaken)
Stu: See this is why we should talk more about the bible and not read it alone.
Will: I agree, the man was humble and basically said "Lord I am not worth to receive you but only say the word and I shall be healed"
Stu: He has humility, thats right.
