Think not that humility is weakness; it shall supply the marrow of strength to thy bones. Stoop and conquer; bow thyself and become invincible.

If thou wouldst conquer thy weakness, thou must never gratify it.

In prayer, we stand where angels bow with veiled faces. There, even there, the cherubim and seraphim adore before that selfsame throne to which our prayers ascend. And shall we come there with stunted requests and narrow, contracted faith?

The higher a man is in grace, the lower he will be in his own esteem. - Charles Hadden Spurgeon,

Humility is to make a right estimate of one's self. It is no humility for a man to think less of himself than he ought, though it might rather puzzle him to do that.

If you see weakness this morning, that's typically considered a good sign for strength further in the day. I think of the bulk of the damage has got to be behind you.
