Humility
I came across this in my devotions this morning, and found it quite convicting:
That was a fine sermon," said one to Mr Bunyan. The good man answered, "You are too late; the devil told me that before I left the pulpit."The archfiend soon suggests to God's servants some lofty notion,& they are tempted to appropriate to themselves the honour, which belongs to God only. Ah, what I fool I am that, even when I seek to be lowest at the feet of my Lord, I find myself satisfied with my humilty! Do we not too often rather mimic humility than actually attain to it?

how true: "even when I seek to be lowest at the feet of my Lord, I find myself satisfied with my humilty!"
One of the best "humility" verses is the following:
Matthew 23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
