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?
“Till the spirit of the heart is renewed, till it is emptied of all earthly desires and stands in an habitual hunger and thirst after God, wich is the true spirit of prayer; till then, all our prayer will, be more or less, but too much like lessons given to scholars; and we will mostly say them, only because we dare not neglect them.” Andrew Murray, Humility, 78
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
“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
“Humility is simply the disposition which prepares the soul for living on trust.” Andrew Murray, Humility, p. 54
“…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
“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.” Andrew Murray, Humility, pg. 52
“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
“May God teach us that our thoughts and words and feelings concerning our fellow men are His test of our humility towards Him.” Andrew Murray, Humility, pg. 45
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
