Humility is the way to true greatness: he who should "humble himself as this little child" should be "the greatest in the kingdom of heaven"; "Whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted" (Matthew 18:4; 23:12; Luke 14:11; 18:14).
This sentiment is powerfully encapsulated in the Hebrew word for humility, anavah. While the English word humility originates from the Latin, humilis, meaning meekness or lowliness, 7 anavah stems from the word anu, meaning “to respond.”. For in Judaism, humility is rooted in a sense of responsibility and accountability.

What God desires most is not outward sacrifices but a humble spirit (Psalm 51:17; Micah 6:8).
