Jesus the Holy One is the humble One: the holiest will always be the humblest. There is none holy but God: we have as much holiness as we have God. And according to what we have of God will be our real humility, because humility is nothing but the disappearance of self in the vision that God is all. The holiest will be the humblest.
– Andrew Murray –
It is no great thing to be humble when you are brought low; but to be humble when you are praised is a great and rare achievement.
– Bernard of Clairvaux –
The more humble a man is in himself, the more obedient toward God, the wiser will he be in all things, and the more shall his soul be at peace.
– Thomas ‘A Kempis –
God created the world out of nothing, and as long as we are nothing, He can make something out of us.
– Martin Luther –
Humility must always be doing its work like a bee making its honey in the hive: without humility all will be lost.
– Teresa of Avila –
The only hope of a decreasing self is an increasing Christ.
– FB Meyer –
If you are looking for an example of humility, look at the cross.
– Thomas Aquinas –
Humility is the proper estimate of oneself.
– Charles Spurgeon –
It’s when we come to those agonizing “crying-out-in-desperation-for-a-breakthrough” moments that God is pressing us into the very place we need to be to receive His breakthrough. The place of brokenness. Because the truth is, we aren’t our own solution – HE IS!
