Humility: One Thousand Gifts Ch. 9

I think this chapter is my favorite, judging by the number of quotes I highlighted, so I'm going to break it up into several small installments.  Maybe that way I'll quit putting off posting such beneficial material.  Here's the opening quote from the inimitable Martin Luther:

God created the world out of nothing,
and as long as we are nothing,
He can make something out of us.
