I really don't think Jesus is talking about making ourselves little. Rather he is talking about not inflating ourselves. The derivation of the word humility is from humus, or ground. Being humble means having our feet on the ground, being grounded. If we are to be lifted up, it is to be by God's grace.

Thanks for your comments. I largely agree with you. I don’t think my use of the word “little” changes that meaning. Thanks again for your insight.
