I haven't treated this topic serious until I saw that Christ Jesus in this earthly work place a high premium on the subject.. Being humble speak highly of what mans heart is: loving, meek, understanding,wise, open to receive, unboastfull, servicehood, stewardship and lot more. If Christ places exaltation and greatness after and humble heart the its so.
He indeed resist the proud but give grace to those that have their boast in him.

One important thing of note is that rejecting Christ(who is full of grace and of an unending mercies) on the ground of our ability is being proud. See how this scripture defines the humble one's
Psa 34:2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

Let your boast be in the fact that Christ for you sins, sickness, lacks, suffering and much more ; rejoice and make your boast on the fact that by his resurrection you and your union with him in faith YOU NOW HAVE:
1.God for a father

1. Jesus as Lord and Shephard
2. The Ever present help of the holy Spirit.
3. Company and fellowship of Sons(saints).
4. Innumerable companies
5. Having the God's life
6. Privilege of being declared Just and righteous
7. Right to enjoy his Health, Riches
8. To share in the very passion and purpose of heaven
9. The list continues.
   Rejoice.
