Prodigal: I’m flat broke today.

Me: Well, we will just lay low then.

This is from the book Absolute Surrender by Andrew Murray

Men sometimes speak as if humility and meekness would rob us of what is noble and bold and manlike. Oh that all would believe that this is the nobility of the kingdom of heaven, that this is the royal spirit that the King of heaven displayed, that this is Godlike, to humble oneself, to become the servant of all! This is the path to the gladness and the glory of Christ’s presence ever in us, His power ever resting on us.

And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company. Genesis 50:9 (KJV)
