“True humility comes when, in the light of God, we have seen ourselves to be nothing, have consented to part with and cast away self and to let God be all.” Andrew Murray, Humility, pg. 36
“…let us pray to God that other gifts may not so satisfy us, that we never grasp the fact that the absence of this grace (humility) is the secret cause why the power of God cannot do its mighty work. It is only where we, like the Son, truly know and show that we can do nothing of ourselves, that God will do all.” Andrew Murray, Humility pg. 32
“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
Men sometimes speak as if humility and meekness would rob us of that which is noble and bold and manlike. Oh, that all would believe that this is the nobility of the kingdom of heaven, that this is the royal spirit that the King of heaven displayed, that this is Godlike, to humble oneself, to become the servant of all!” Andrew Murray, Humility pg 26
Just as water ever seeks and fills the lowest place, so the moment God finds the creature abased and empty, His glory and power flow in to exalt and to bless. He that humbleth himself-that must be our one care-shall be exalted; that is God’s care. By His mighty power and in His great love He will do it.” Andrew Murray, Humility pg 25
“Until a humility which will rest in nothing less than the end of self; which gives up all honor of men as Jesus did, to seek the honor that comes from God alone; which absolutely makes and counts itself nothing, that God may be all, that the Lord alone may be exalted, until such a humility be what we seek in Christ above our chief joy, and welcome at any price, there is very little hope of a religion that will conquer the world.” Andrew Murray, Humility Pg. 11
