Book Review: Humility by Andrew Murray

While I was reading this book, I highlighted and underscored some quotes that I would like to share.  This book has been cool water for the soul when I struggle.  When I don't think life is going the way that I intend or not happening as I see fit, I remember the lines from this book.  Instead of writing a review, the quotes will speak for themselves.

Humility is the proper estimate of oneself.
 
Until a humility rests in nothing less than the end and death of self, and which gives up all honor of men as Jesus did to seek the honor that comes from God alone (which absolutely makes and counts itself nothing) that God may be all, that the Lord alone may be exalted--until such a humility is what we seek in Christ above our chief joy, and welcome at any price, there is very little hope of a faith that will conquer the world.
 
This life of self-abnegation, of absolute submission and dependence on the Father's will, Christ found to be the source of perfect peace and joy.
 
In the very nature of things, in the whole relationship of the creature to the Creator, in the life of Jesus as He lived it and imparts it to us, humility is the very essence of holiness.  It is the displacement of self by the the enthronement of God.  Where God is all, self is nothing.
 
Not to be occupied with your sin, but to be fully occupied with God brings deliverance from self.
 
Place yourself before God in your helplessness; consent to the fact that you are powerless to slay yourself; give yourself in patient and trustful surender to God.  Accept every humiliation; look upon every person who tries or troubles you as a means of grace to humble you. God will see such acceptance as proof that your whole heart desires it.  It is the path of humility that leads to full and perfect experience of our death with Christ.
