“When one reduces the dimensions of the divine revelation concerning mankind, one thereby excludes the possibility of attaining true repentance. If men regard themselves only as weak beings, they permit and condone a multitude of transgressions. Because they are thinking of themselves as inferior to Christ, people then refuse- and let this not appear a strange exaggeration- to follow Him truly to Golgotha. To abase in our consciousness our Creator's plan for mankind is not a proof of humility, but an error and even a great sin. We must have the courage to approach the content of divine revelation 'with face uncovered', and 'beholding the glory of the Lord', be 'changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord' [2 Cor. 3:18]” SinHumilityRedemptionGod S Love Book:Truth and Life Source: Truth and Life
“The omnipotent God summoned us from the void. By nature we are of the void; yet even from God we expect consideration and regard. Suddenly the Almighty reveals Himself in boundless humility. The vision floods our entire being and instinctively we bow in adoration. Even this does not seem enough but however much we try to humble ourselves before Him we still fall short of His humility. Prayer to this God of love and humility rises from the depths of our being. When our heart is filled with love for God we are wholly aware of our closeness to Him — although we know full well that we are but dust (cf. Gen. 3.19). Howbeit, in the visible form of our nature the immortal God described the likeness of His invisible Being, and thus we apprehend eternity. Through prayer we enter into Divine life; and God praying in us is uncreated life permeating us.” PrayerHumilityDustVoid Book:His Life Is Mine Source: His Life Is Mine
