What is being "humble"?
Well, it IS NOT complete brokeness, complete brokeness happens because of too much "pride"... "Humble" is a "Balance", an even keel attribute between the roller-coaster ride of life that is the ground between pride and complete brokeness, I'll admit a difficult balance to find, even harder to maintain and keep...
My best advice, from the Lord, and my personal experience with him, is that when you feel "pride" rising in you or are convicted of it, instantly, in that very moment, lower yourself, humble yourself, "fear" it, if anything for fear of becoming completely broken, for this is wise, pray and talk to God about it, immediately appollogize, say your sorry, ask forgiveness, this doesn't necessarily have to be on your knees or involve brokeness, tell him you'll do your best not to do it again, ask if he can help you with it, have Faith that he has and does forgive you, instantly at your asking, for he paid for it all, have faith that this is so... Lastly, give thanks and thank him... When you feel rid of the pride if only for the moment, close your prayer, get-up and continue on, repeat process as/when needed...
God Bless!
