The highest glory of the creature is in being only a vessel, to receive and enjoy and show forth the glory of God. It can do this only as it is willing to be nothing in itself, that God may be all. Water always fills first the lowest places. The lower, the emptier a man lies before God, the speedier and the fuller will be the inflow of the diving glory.
Andrew MurrayAs natural and easy as it has been to be proud, it must become natural for us to be humble.
Andrew MurrayHumility, 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 MurrayThe great thing in prayer is to feel that we are putting our supplications into the bosom of omnipotent love.
