From Humility: The Beauty of Holiness, by Andrew Murray
Pride renders faith impossible.
The humble man looks upon every child of God, and honours him and prefers him in honour as the son of a King.
Humility, the place of entire dependence on God, is, from the very nature of things, the first duty and the highest virtue of the creature.
A faithful servant may be wiser than the master, and yet retain the true spirit and posture of the servant.
The deepest humility is the secret of the truest happiness, of a joy that nothing can destroy.
Christ is the humility of God embodied in human nature; the Eternal Love humbling itself, clothing itself in the garb of meekness.
It is not sin, but grace, that will make me indeed know myself a sinner, and make the sinner’s place of deepest self-abasement the place I never leave.
God wished to reveal Himself in and through created beings by communicating to them as much of His own goodness and glory as they were capable of receiving.
Humility towards men will be the only sufficient proof that our humility before God is real.
The great test of whether the holiness we profess to seek or to attain, is truth and life, will be whether it be manifest in the increasing humility it produces.
