Written by Andrew Murray (1828-1917), a South African writer, teacher, and Christian pastor. This is an excerpt from his book “Humility.”
Here’s a sobering thought: God measures our love for him by the love we show our brothers and sisters in everyday fellowship with them. It is a serious thing to realize that our love for God isn’t genuine if it fails the test of daily life with our fellow human beings. The same thing is true of humility. It is easy to think we humble ourselves before God. But humility before people is the only real proof that our humility before God is more than just a figment of our imagination.
If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we have not seen? [1 John 4:20]
The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. [Psalm 46:7]
