Nothing is in vain or without profit to the humble soul; it stands always in a state of divine growth. Everything that falls upon it is like a dew of Heaven to it.” Andrew Murray, Humility, p 79
This is the last quote I took from Andrew Murray’s book, Humility . I may have read the whole book just for this quote! I so want God to bring me to this perspective!
Which of the Humility quotes was your favorite?
It is indeed blessed, the deep happiness of Heaven, to be so free from self that whatever is said of us or done to us is lost and swallowed up, in the thought that Jesus is all.” Andrew Murray, Humility, p. 69
“Humility means the giving up of self and the taking of the place of perfect nothingness before God.” Andrew Murray, Humility, p 60
“Pride renders faith impossible. Salvation comes through a cross and a crucified Christ. Salvation is the fellowship with the crucified Christ in the Spirit of His cross. Salvation is union with and delight in, salvation is participation in, the humility of Jesus.” Andrew Murray, Humility, p. 55
“…we never can have more of true faith than we have of true humility; We shall see that we indeed have strong intellectual conviction and assurance of the truth while pride is kept in the heart, but that it makes the living faith, which has power with God, an impossibility.” Andrew Murray,. Humility p. 54
“As health expels disease, and light swallows up darkness, and life conquers death, the indwelling of Christ through the Spirit is the health and light and life of the soul.” Andrew Murray, Humility, pg. 51
The great test of whether or not the holiness we profess to seek or to attain, truth and life, will be manifest in the increasing humility it produces. In the creature, humility is the one thing needed to allow God’s holiness to dwell in him and shine through him.” Andrew Murray, Holiness, pg. 41
“no personal resolve or effort, however sincere and earnest, can cast out the devil of pride. When Satan casts out Satan, it is only to enter afresh in a mightier, more hidden power. Nothing can avail but this, that the new nature in divine humility be revealed in power to take the place of the old, to become as truly our very nature as that ever was….It is only by the indwelling of Christ in His divine humility that we become truly humble.” Andrew Murray, Humility pg. 30
“We shall find perfect rest in the one thing He offers us: meekness and lowliness. Humility is to be a salvation.” Andrew Murray, Humility pg. 22
