<p>&quot;Be <em>clothed</em> with humility.&quot; 1 Peter 5:5<br />
          <br />
          Humility is<strong> the best garment for a justified sinner to wear</strong>.<br />
          <br />
          It is of great importance, to have and to nourish right views . . . <br />
          of our own littleness and insignificance; <br />
          of our vileness and unworthiness; and <br />
          of our own absolute and constant dependence on the mercy of our God.<br />
          <br />
          We must be habitually looking at the Lord Jesus, <br />
          what He was in His ancient glory;<br />
          what He became for us;<br />
          what He now is; and<br />
          what we shall soon be with Him.<br />
          <br />
          God has said He will look to and dwell with the humble. <br />
          <br />
          He gives grace unto the humble. <br />
          <br />
          He who humbles himself—shall be exalted. <br />
          <br />
          He will hear the cry, grant the desire, and save the humble person.<br />
          <br />
          Jesus, from my proud heart remove<br />
          The bane of self-admiring love!<br />
          Oh, make me feel and own with shame,<br />
          I less and worse than nothing am!<br />
          The least of saints with pity see,<br />
          The chief of sinners save, in me!<br>
