To imitate Paul's humility

Paul urged Corinthians to imitate his humility, he even sent Timothy to remind them how he followed Christ.
Reading his words, I felt so heavy in my heart. How seriously he hold God's trust in him, how seriously he hold his dedication to Christ. He hold the trust with his very life.
In Paul's life, being humble is not just considering others better than yourself, it means sacrifice, it means humiliation, it means wariness...
May the Lord give us the grace to walk the walk he walked.
Bible verse,
Instead, I sometimes think God has put us apostles on display, like prisoners of war at the end of a victor’s parade, condemned to die. We have become a spectacle to the entire world—to people and angels alike. Our dedication to Christ makes us look like fools, but you claim to be so wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are so powerful! You are honored, but we are ridiculed. Even now we go hungry and thirsty, and we don’t have enough clothes to keep warm. We are often beaten and have no home. We work wearily with our own hands to earn our living. We bless those who curse us. We are patient with those who abuse us. We appeal gently when evil things are said about us. Yet we are treated like the world’s garbage, like everybody’s trash—right up to the present moment. 1 Corinthians 4:9-13 NLT
