• ‘humilty is simply the sense of entire nothingness that comes when we see how truly God is everything.
  humility is the secret of blessedness, the desire to be nothing, that allows God to be all in all.
  humility is nothing but the simple consent of the creature to let God be all, the surrender of itself to His working alone.
  humility before God is nothing if it is not proven in humility before others. the one infallible test of our holiness will be our humility before God and others. humility is the bloom and beauty of holiness.
  humility is nothing but the dissapearance of self in the vision that God is all.” ~andrew murray

  “clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for ‘God oppposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.’” 1 peter 5:5

  i’m sitting here in this little coffeeshop, listening to keith green, looking over some quotes from andrew murray’s book ‘humility.’ it’s such a beautiful day here and i’m so thankful to be here. we are not promised tomorrow, and today, could be our last. i know it’s not always the most pleasant thought to think about but i’ve been thinking about it alot lately for some reason. “our life is but a vapor” …this life, is like a speck considered in the Lord’s eyes. this life, is passing and so temporary. this gives me every reason to take the opportunities that i am given today, and live them out to the fullest for Christ. if this day was to be my life, how would i live it out? how would i impact the people around me….would i clothe myself in humility, would i give them a glimpse of who Christ really is?

  i’m learning and re-learning so much right now in this season of my life…. our God is so good, dear friends…
