"The Lord Jesus did not offer up His own life, and shed His blood to spare us from the sacrifice of our lives.  No, indeed ! but to make the sacrifice of our lives possible and desirable."

"It is impossible for us to think too highly, or to expect too much, from the power of Jesus' blood."

"No sense of unworthiness, or of ignorance, or of helplessness must cause us to doubt.  The blood works in the surrendered soul with a ceaseless power of life."
                                      - quotes from The Power Of The Blood Of Jesus by Andrew Murray

Murray also said that in order to experience the glorious blessings of the blood of Jesus Christ, we must place ourselves under the teaching of the Holy Spirit, we must strongly desire and expect deliverance from anything that is not pleasing to God, and we must strongly desire and expect holiness and intimate friendship with our Holy God.

Rare and precious Humility

Humility is not thinking little of oneself, but not thinking of oneself.
             - Guide Lamps for God's Lambs by Mary Durren

Humility is perfect quietness of heart.  It is to have no trouble.  It is never to be fretted, or vexed, or irritated, or sore.  It is to expect nothing, to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me.  It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised.   It is to have a blessed home in the Lord, where I can go in and shut the door, and kneel to my Father in secret, and am at peace as in a deep sea of calmness, when all around and above is trouble.   -  By Andrew Murray, found in "The Voice in the Wilderness" and on our pastor's wife's blog, Gayle's Blog. 

In theology, humility consists in lowliness of mind; a deep sense of one's own unworthiness in the sight of God, self-abasement, penitence for sin, and submission to the divine will.  
Before honor is humility. Prov 15.
Serving the Lord with all humility of mind. Acts 20.
   - From Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary
