Andrew MurrayUse every opportunity of humbling yourself before your fellow-men as a help to abide humble before God.
About This Quote
Every man should have a humble heart. If a person has a humble heart, he doesn’t boast about his accomplishments. He takes other people’s words into consideration and does not take other people for granted. In the same way that God’s word should be taken into consideration, so should the words of others.
When we have a humble heart, we are able to know how to conduct ourselves in public settings. When we have a humble heart, we don’t seek the limelight or glory by giving people awards or praise for their accomplishments.
