Quotes from Andrew Murray

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.

I need to spend time with God even when I do not know what to pray.

The only humility that is really ours is not that which we try to show before God in prayer, but that which we carry with us, and carry out, in our ordinary conduct; the insignficances of daily life are the importances and the tests of eternity, because they prove what really is the spirit that possesses us.

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.

Our humility before God has no value, except that it prepares us to reveal the humility of Jesus to our fellow men.

Humility is the only soil in which the graces root; the lack of humility is the sufficient explanation of every defect and failure. Humility is not so much a grace or virtue along with others; it is the root of all, because it alone takes the right attitude before God, and allows Him as God to do all.

As natural and easy as it has been to be proud, it must become natural for us to be humble.

Prayer [is] the quiet, persistent living of our life of desire and faith in the presence of our God.

Humiliation is the only ladder to honoring God's Kingdom.

A faithful servant may be wiser than the master, and yet retain the true spirit and posture of the servant. The humble man looks upon every, the feeblest and unworthiest, child of God, and honors him and prefers him in honor as the son of a King.

Fellow-Christians, do let us study the Bible portrait of the humble man. And let us ask our brethren, and ask the world, whether they recognize in us the likeness to the original.

How different our standard is from Christ's. We ask how much a man gives. Christ asks how much he keeps.
