True Humility

François Fénelon

It is false humility to believe ourselves unworthy of God’s goodness and to not dare to look to God with trust. True humility lies in seeing our own unworthiness and giving ourselves up to God, never doubting that God can work out the greatest results for and in us. If God’s success depends on finding our foundations already laid, we might well fear that our sins has destroyed our chances. But God needs nothing that is in us. God can never find anything there except what God himself has given us.
