"Humiliation of soul always brings a positive blessing with it.
If we empty our hearts of self, God will fill them with His love.
Stoop if you would climb to heaven.
You must grow downwards, that you may grow upwards; for the sweetest fellowship with heaven is to be had by humble souls, and by them alone.
God will deny no blessing to a thoroughly humbled spirit. “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven,” with all its riches and treasures.
The whole exchequer of God shall be made over by deed of gift to the soul which is humble enough to be able to receive it without growing proud because of it.
True humility is a flower which will adorn any garden.
Whether it be prayer or praise, the genuine salt of humility cannot be used in excess."
Charles Spurgeon
