Blessing Quote by George Bowen
“Whatever hinders us from receiving a blessing that God is willing to bestow upon us is not humility, but the mockery of it. A genuine humility will ever feel the need of the largest measures of grace, and will be perfected just in the degree in which that grace is bestowed. The truly humble man will seek to be filled with all the fullness of God, knowing that when so filled there is not the slightest place for pride or for self.”
About This Quote
True humility isn’t about modesty but about recognizing that grace, not self‑worth, fills us; pride has no room when we are fully blessed.
In simple terms: Humility means seeing grace as the source, not self‑importance.
