“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
