HUMILITY

Today’s Reminder: Humility

“Humility, that low, sweet root, from which all heavenly virtues shoot.”

~ Thomas Moore ~

Spiritual Principles Series

Humility…

Perpetual quietness of heart. It is to have no trouble. It is never to be fretted or vexed, irritable or sore; 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 myself where I can go in and shut the door and kneel to my Father in secret and be at peace, as in a deep sea of calmness, when all around and about is seeming trouble.

  3. We can’t CURE it

AND WE WON’T CONTRIBUTE TO IT TODAY
