The very acme of humility!
(George Everard, "Help on the Way to the Better Land!" 1873)
"Though I am nothing." 2 Corinthians 12:11
Wonderful was the grace that taught the once proud Pharisee thus to speak!
To be "the least of the apostles," was much to say. (1 Corinthians 15:9)
To be "less than the least of all God's people," was still more. (Ephesians 3:8)
To be "chief of sinners," was yet more. (1 Timothy 1:15)
But "to be nothing," this is the very acme of humility!
"God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." James 4:6
