He poured his life into helping Paul and the church so much that he nearly died from it. He literally risked his life in order to be Paul’s servant and right-hand man. He was humble.
Some of the traits of an humble person are:
Being humble is the best characteristic of anyone. People will appreciate one who thinks more of others than themselves.
Prayer: Lord, please keep me humble so that I may please you and love others as I love myself. Amen.
