God created the world out of nothing, and so long as we are nothing, He can make something out of us.
True humility does not know that it is humble. If it did, it would be proud from the contemplation of so fine a virtue.
The Son of God did not want to be seen and found in heaven. Therefore he descended from heaven into this humility and came to us in our flesh, laid himself into the womb of his mother and into the manger and went on to the cross. This was the ladder that he placed on earth so that we might ascend to God on it. This is the way you must take.
