**What if making yourself smaller isn't humility at all?**  
**Jesus shows us a much healthier way to see ourselves - and serve others.**

In John 13, Jesus knows exactly who he is before he kneels to wash his disciples' feet. His service does not come from low self-worth. It comes from a secure identity.

In today's 5-minute Christian devotional, we explore the difference between true humility and putting yourself down. When you know you are loved by God, you do not need to prove yourself, hide your gifts, or compete for attention. You can simply use what God has given you to serve others.

**Subscribe for a new 5-minute daily devotional each day** as we explore how Scripture speaks into ordinary life, faith, work, relationships, struggles and choices.

**Today's Bible passage:** John 13:3-5

Have you ever confused humility with making yourself smaller?

Perhaps you have brushed off a compliment, hidden something you are good at, or worried that recognising a strength would make you proud.

I'd love to hear your experience. What is one gift God has given you that you could use to help someone else today?
