Humility

I was looking through my journal tonight and came across this poem.

Humility

Humility is perfect quietness of
heart.

It is to have no trouble.

It is never to be fretted or vexed
or irritated, or sore or disappointed.

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 are in trouble.
