Humbleness

"Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself."

Philippians 2:3

God sees everything we do, the good and the bad works. But what really matters though is who we are, that is, our character.

Be like

"BIt is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master."

Matthew 10:25

In order to serve, Jesus had to empty Himself and assume the form of servant. Those who want to follow Him must also empty themselves and humbly assume the form of servants. Otherwise, they'll continue the same kind of life.

Wash the feet

"If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet."

John 13: 14

Jesus did not wash His disciples' feet to show humbleness, but to teach them how to behave with one another. The servant does not question, but obey.

God's habitat

"For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “ I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones." 
Isaiah 57.15

God is always close to those who are afflicted, just waiting to be called. One must manifest their faith by crying out to Him.

Desire

" LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their heart; You will cause Your ear to hear..."
Psalms 10:17

Blessed are those with a humble spirit, for God hears their cry. He's always ready to help and fulfil their desires.
