"For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."(Luke 14:11)
The only thing which can enable me thus to go on is to have Christ the object before me, and just in proportion as it is so can I be happy.
There may be a thousand and one things to vex me if self is of importance; they will not vex me at all if self is not there to be vexed.The passions of the flesh will not harass us if we are walking with God.
What trials we get when not walking with God and thinking only of self!!
There is no such deliverance as that of having no importance in one's own eyes.
Then one may be happy indeed before God.
..............(J.N. Darby)...............
