Andrew Murray's Start on Humility

I am enjoying Andrew Murray's "Humility", if 'enjoy' can be used of a book that is convicting you at every turn. Murray basically defines humility as an attitude of dependence. He calls humility the "glory of the creature". This is how he puts it:

"God is the ever-living, ever-present, ever-acting One, who upholdeth all things by the word of His power, and in whom all things exist, the relation of the creature to God could only be one of unceasing, absolute, universal dependence."

I think this is a good place to start. Murray will later unpack the attitude we usually associate with humility, that of being self-forgetful. But he starts with the relation of the creature to its Creator, and that is one of dependence. The essence of pride is independence, and once I have chosen that I have opened the door for every sort of sin. In contrast, Murray calls "the place of entire dependence on God...the root of every virtue."
