“We do not have to know God’s plans to walk in peace. It should be enough to know him.”2 Rest in the fact that God has given you everything you need to persevere, even if you never have an answer to the why of your suffering.”
― Glenna Marshall, Everyday Faithfulness: The Beauty of Ordinary Perseverance in a Demanding World

“Without humility, there can be no true dwelling in God’s presence or enjoying His favor and the power of His Spirit. Without humility, there is no faith, love, joy, or strength demonstrated in our lives. Humility is the only soil in which the graces take root; the lack of humility is the reasonable explanation for every defect and failure in the Christian life. Humility is not so much a blessing or attribute along with others; it is the root of all. It alone takes the right attitude before God, and allows Him to sanctify.”
― Andrew Murray, Humility: The Beauty of Holiness

“We must learn from Jesus, how He is meek and lowly of heart. He teaches us where true humility takes its proper place and finds its strength. This happens when we take hold of the knowledge that it is God who works all in all, that our responsibility is to yield to Him in perfect surrender and dependence, in full compliance to be and to do nothing of ourselves.”
― Andrew Murray, Humility: The Beauty of Holiness

“Survival mode for the weary Christian is not hibernation from Christ but perseverance in Christ.”
