Humility

Some quotes that I have been drawn to from my reading from the Andrew Murray book "Humility"

"Humility is the only soil in which the graces root; the lack of humility is the sufficent explanation of every defect and failure."

"The call of humility has been to little regarded in the church because its true nature and importance has been too little apprehended."

"Humility is...the sense of entire nothingness, which comes when we see how truly God is all, and in which we make way for God to be all."

"Let us feel as if nothng but a very determined and persevering waiting on God and Christ will show how lacking we are in the grace of humility, and ho wimpootent to obtain what we seek. Let us study the character of Christ until our souls are filled with the love and admiration of his lowliness. And let us believe that, when we are broken down under a sense of our pride, and our impotence to cast it out, Jesus Chirst himslef will come in to impart this grace too, as a part of wonderous life within us
