“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.” ― Andrew Murray, Humility

Amen. Humility is a characteristic that should grow as we understand more of the grace of God in our lives. It’s not something that can happen instantaneously, but a virtue we must grow in throughout our lives.
Agreed. As we see Jesus more and more, the more we will realize His greatness. And the more we realize His greatness, the more our “smallness” becomes our reality as well. “He must increase, but I must decrease.” John 3:30
