Status Updates From Humility

“Let us look at every person who annoys or agitates us, as God’s means of grace, God’s instrument for our purification, for the working out of the humility Jesus our Life breathes within us.”

This one is going to take a while. Gratefully it is Asa's copy and does not have to be returned . . . ad infinitum.

“Humility is simply the sense of entire nothingness, which comes when we see how truly God is all, and in which we make way for God to be all. When the creature realizes that this is true goodness, and consents to be the vessel in which the life and glory of God are to exhibit themselves, he sees that humility is simply acknowledging the truth of his position as the creature, and yielding to God has rightful place.

“His humility became our salvation. His salvation is
our humility.”

“Humility is not so much a virtue along with the others, but is the root of all, because it alone takes the right attitude before God and allows Him, as God, to do all.”
