Confidence and Humility
... Humility can only become a part of our nature when we are truly satisfied with who God has created us to be; when we see the greatness that God has placed inside of us and feel no need to boast about it, or promote it.

Humility, is being so confident in who you are that there is never any need for self-promotion. This doesn’t, however, mean that we have to disregard or underrate our skills, talents, or giftings, to simply avoid sounding arrogant. Humility is much more than that.
