The Way to Holiness is Humility

No matter how powerful and honorable a man may be,
God cannot use him,
Until he falls in the dust and gives up all his idols.
Human pride must be smashed.
All our boasting must be silenced.
All our thoughts and plans must be abandoned.
All human achievement must be recognized for what it is: Filthy rags and a stench in God’s nostrils.
