Think About It

True humility is not an abject, groveling, self-despising spirit … but a right estimate of ourselves as God sees us.—Tryon Edwards

*

I love humble people. They have no need to constantly prove themselves right and the other person wrong. They are at peace because they are not preoccupied with themselves. They are strong because they know that they can just be themselves, and in being themselves they glorify the God who made them. Humility is the surest sign of strength.—Thomas Merton

*

Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it's thinking of yourself less. Humility is thinking more of others.—Rick Warren

*

Learn to be humble but not timid. Some people mistake timidity for humility. But humility is a virtue; timidity is an affliction.—Jim Rohn

*

Don't imagine that if you meet a really humble man he will be what most people call “humble” nowadays: he won’t be a sort of greasy, smarmy person, who’s always telling you that, of course, he’s nobody. Probably all you’ll think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him. If you do dislike him, it will be because you feel a bit envious of anyone who seems to enjoy life so easily. He won’t be thinking about himself at all. There I must stop. If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step. The first step is to realize that one is proud. And a biggish step, too. At least, nothing whatever can be done before it. If you think you’re not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed.—C. S. Lewis

*

The meek man is not a human mouse afflicted with a sense of his own inferiority. He has accepted God’s estimate of his own life: In himself, nothing; in God, everything. He knows well that the world will never see him as God sees him and he has stopped caring.—A. W. Tozer

*

A heart that understands what is implicit in God's tenderness is humbled beyond any hope of goodness or worth in itself.—Marian Scheele

If you want something you've never had then you've got to do something you've never done

To hold resentment or bitterness in your heart is like keeping a virus in your computer. It will bring the whole system to a halt. Forgiveness is the best antivirus and you can download it for free from the Heavenly Resources Site. 

*


The whole spiritual warfare is about us, swaying us to believe the truth or the lie. Once we believe then we create what we believe in.

*

First you conceive, then you believe and finally you achieve
And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. Luke 17:6

*

The devil has absolutely no power over us except make us believe that he has power over us
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy. Jonas 2:8

*

After all is said and done, love is the only thing that stays
Now abides faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
1.Cor.13:13

*


It's often difficult to love. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.
Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, And you have strengthened the feeble knees
Job 4:4

*


Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all
Hellen Keller
God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2Timothy 1:7 

*

Knowledge without wisdom is destructive
“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” James 1:5 

*


There is a hard law… When an injury is done to us, we never recover until we forgive. 
Alan Paton
“Beware lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.” — Heb.12:15

*

Remember, life is all about the journey. The map is inside of you already. It's called your intuition, your drive, and your dream. Follow it. You're going to be pleasantly surprised at where it will take you. Steve G. Jones
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13,14)

*

Learn to like what you do before you try doing what you like.
Godliness with contentment is great gain. (1 Timothy 6:6)

*

Trusting God is not a feeling, it's a decision.
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. (Psalm 56:3)
