"Be clothed with humility." 1 Peter 5:5

Humility is the best garment for a justified sinner to wear.

It is of great importance, to have and to nourish right views . . . 
of our own littleness and insignificance; 
of our vileness and unworthiness; and 
of our own absolute and constant dependence on the mercy of our God.

We must be habitually looking at the Lord Jesus, 
what He was in His ancient glory;
what He became for us;
what He now is; and
what we shall soon be with Him.

God has said He will look to and dwell with the humble. 

He gives grace unto the humble. 

He who humbles himself—shall be exalted. 

He will hear the cry, grant the desire, and save the humble person.

Jesus, from my proud heart remove
The bane of self-admiring love!
Oh, make me feel and own with shame,
I less and worse than nothing am!
The least of saints with pity see,
The chief of sinners save, in me!
