“ How different our standard is from Christ's. We ask how much a man gives. Christ asks how much he keeps. ”
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
Prayer [is] the quiet, persistent living of our life of desire and faith in the presence of our God.
A dead Christ I must do everything for, a living Christ does everything for me.
Our forgiving love toward men is the evidence of God's forgiving love in us. It is a necessary condition of the prayer of faith.
