Humility Quote 5

“We may find professors and ministers, evangelists and workers, missionaries and teachers in whom the gifts of the Spirit are many and manifest, and who are the channels of blessings to multitudes, but of whom, when the testing time comes, or closer intercourse gives fuller knowledge, it is only too painfully manifest that the grace of humility as an abiding characteristic, is scarce to be seen. All tends to confirm the lesson that humility is one of the chief and the highest graces, one of the most difficult of attainment, one to which our first and chiefest efforts ought to be directed, one that only comes in power when the fullness of the Spirit makes us partakers of the indwelling Christ and He lives within us.” Andrew Murray, Humility pg. 28, 29
