Humility is perfect quietness of heart. It is for me to have no trouble; 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 be at peace as in a deep sea of calmness when all around is trouble. It is the fruit of the Lord Jesus Christ’s redemptive work on Calvary’s cross, manifested in those of His own who are definitely subject to the Holy Spirit.

When I was 12-13 years old in the late 1960’s this is a poem I read in one of my aunt’s old poem books. I loved this poem and had written it down in the front of my first Bible. My precious Bible burned in a house fire and I am so glad to find it again! This poem helped me in many situations in my early Christian walk. Even not having it to read for years I would always remember the words that said – to expect nothing, to wonder at nothing done to me, to feel nothing that is done against me, to be at rest when nobody praises me.
