When I was going through some dark valleys during my divorce, one of the foundational resources that I discovered was a book by Andrew Murray simply called Humility. This is a book that does not sit on my bookshelf and collect dust, it is a book that I read again and again. Since then I have become inspired by the wisdom what this man shares.
Here are 10 of my favorite quotes from Andrew Murray.
A dead Christ I must do everything for; a living Christ does everything for me.
Christ is the humility of God embodied in human nature; the Eternal Love humbling itself, clothing itself in the garb of meekness and gentleness, to win and serve and save us.
Faith expects from God what is beyond all expectation.
Our love to God is measured by our everyday fellowship with others and the love it displays.
Humility is nothing but the disappearance of self in the vision that God is all.
God has no more precious gift to a church or an age than a man who lives as an embodiment of his will, and inspires those around him with the faith of what grace can do.
Prayer is not monologue, but dialogue. God’s voice in response to mine is its most essential part.
Let it be your business every day, in the secrecy of the inner chamber, to meet the holy God. You will be repaid for the trouble it may cost you. The reward will be sure and rich.
Pride must die in you, or nothing of heaven can live in you.
We must begin to believe that God, in the mystery of prayer, has entrusted us with a force that can move the Heavenly world, and can bring its power down to earth.
