Ephesians 4:2
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.

Humility

"Humility is perfect quietness of heart.
I 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 am at peace as in a deep sea of calmness,
when all around and above is trouble."

- Andrew Murray
