The message of the Incarnation is that the eternal Son of God became flesh – that is, He added sinless humanity to His deity, never relinquishing His deity or abandoning His humanity. This is sometimes explained by the term “hypostatic union”
We were created to live with God and for God, to know him and make him known. God made all of us on purpose to live with him wherever he might happen to put us and live for him in whatever he might call us to do. This is ultimately what life is for.
The balance between humility and pride isn’t about thinking badly of ourselves or eating dirt. We’re taught all through scripture to focus in humility on the grace of God, to love Him more than anything.
