Humility 2

I looked up humility in the study topics on http://www.lds.org/

There I read a definition of humility that pointed me in a different direction.

Defined: To be humble is to recognize gratefully our dependence on the Lord...

The Savior set the example: "I can of mine own self do nothing. . . . I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me" (John 5:30). (I don't feel like that. I feel like I do so much on my own...)

Matt 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. (a child is completely dependent on parents with no shame about it)

Matt 26:39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and aprayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this ccup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. (I still feel resistance to just let Him take the wheel)

(This scripture ties humility to seeking happiness) Mosiah 4:11 And again I say unto you as I have said before, that as ye have come to the knowledge of the glory of God, or if ye have known of his goodness and have tasted of his love, and have received a remission of your sins, which causeth such exceedingly great joy in your souls, even so I would that ye should remember, and always retain in remembrance, the greatness of God, and your own nothingness, and his goodness and long-suffering towards you, unworthy creatures, and humble yourselves even in the depths of humility, calling on the name of the Lord daily, and standing steadfastly in the faith of that which is to come, which was spoken by the mouth of the angel.
12 And behold, I say unto you that if ye do this ye shall always rejoice, and be filled with the alove of God, and always bretain a remission of your sins; and ye shall grow in the knowledge of the glory of him that created you, or in the knowledge of that which is just and true.

Hel. 3:35 Nevertheless they did fast and pray oft, and did wax stronger and stronger in their humility, and firmer and firmer in the faith of Christ, unto the filling their souls with joy and consolation, yea, even to the purifying and the sanctification of their hearts, which sanctification cometh because of their yielding their hearts unto God.

Ether 12:27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them. (I never really considered the Lord giving weakness. I considered him giving talents and strength.)
