When you have proper respect for the Lord, you realize everything comes from Him. Your gifts, talents, and abilities came from God. Humility is understanding that without God you are nothing. Humility is having a modest opinion about yourself. When you understand the Source of all that you have that is good is God, and you honor and respect the One who blessed you with all that you have, you will eventually experience more and more of His goodness. You will experience more of His blessings. The more you honor Him, the more He honors you (I Samuel 2:30).
We should love God because of who He is and what He has done for us, but even more than that, there should be a desire to know Him even more. The closer you get to God, the more you realize how desperate you need Him. The more you realize He is the key to all that you could possibly want, need, or desire. Eventually all those things become obsolete, because at the end of the day, we are here to bring Him glory; and we bring Him glory through humility and honoring God with our talents, gifts, and abilities.
