12 Priceless Quotes On Humility From Andrew Murray
I have been reading Andrew Murray's book simply entitled Humility. The following quotes are just a glimpse of the wisdom and insight you can find in this great work.
“Humility is the displacement of self by the enthronement of God.” ― Andrew Murray
“Pride must die in you, or nothing of heaven can live in you.” ― Andrew Murray
“Men sometimes speak as if humility and meekness would rob us of what is noble and bold and manlike. O that all would believe that this is the nobility of the kingdom of heaven, that this is the royal spirit that the King of heaven displayed, that this is Godlike, to humble oneself, to become the servant of all!” ― Andrew Murray
“Humility is simply the disposition which prepares the soul for living on trust.” ― Andrew Murray
“Our humility before God has no value, except that it prepares us to reveal the humility of Jesus to our fellow men.” ― Andrew Murray
"Pride, or the loss of this humility, is the root of every sin and evil.” ― Andrew Murray
“Here is the path to the higher life: down, lower down! Just as water always seeks and fills the lowest place, so the moment God finds men abased and empty, His glory and power flow in to exalt and to bless.” ― Andrew Murray
“His humility became our salvation. His salvation is our humility." ― Andrew Murray
“Humility, the place of entire dependence on God, is the first duty and the highest virtue of the creature, and the root of every virtue. And so pride, or the loss of this humility, is the root of every sin and evil.” ― Andrew Murray
"Humility is nothing but the disappearance of self in the vision that God is all.” ― Andrew Murray
“Humility is perfect quietness of heart. It is to expect nothing, to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me. It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised. It is to have a blessed home in the Lord, where I can go in and shut the door, and kneel to my Father in secret, and am at peace as in a deep sea of calmness, when all around and above is trouble.” ― Andrew Murray
“As natural and easy as it has been to be proud, it must become natural for us to be humble.”
― Andrew Murray
A Call to Humility
"Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus..." ― Philippians 2:1-5
