“There is a universal respect and even admiration for those who are humble and simple by nature, and who have absolute confidence in all human beings irrespective of their social status.”- Madiba

 

H - honouring others

U - uniting others

M – mission, living for the benefit of others

B – boldly speaking for what is right

L - love towards neighbours

E - eternal significance, we live with an eye on eternity

 

It was John Riskin who said, "I believe the first test of a truly great man is his humility. I do not mean by humility, doubt of his own power, or hesitation in speaking his opinion. But really great men have a ... feeling that the greatness is not in them but through them; that they could not do or be anything else than God made them."

 

A truly great man in history was memorialised today. We are honoured to be alive in South Africa for such a time as this.

 

God leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way. Psalm 25:9


Wisdom, patience, optimism and hope. Attributes we can all strive for.
