To truly follow Jesus, we must recognize our own shortcomings while appreciating His greatness. Humility is essential for honor; those who serve God best are often the most humble. Seeking to uplift others rather than ourselves aligns us with God's purpose. Ultimately, God values sincerity and a close relationship with Christ over gold or wealth or status. The more we come close to Jesus, the more clearly we see His pure character, how grave sin is, & the less we shall fell like exalting self.
—Ellen G. White, The Desire of Ages, pp. 436, 437 & Christ’s Object Lessons, p. 160.
