Me: Well it went off without a hitch.

Prodigal: Praise God!

This is from the book Absolute Surrender by Andrew Murray

And so the life of the saved ones, of the saints, must needs bear their stamp of deliverance from sin, and full restoration to their original state; their whole relation to God and man marked by an all-pervading humility. Without this there can be no true abiding in God’s presence, or experience of His favor and the power of His Spirit; without this no abiding faith, or love or joy or strength. Humility is the only soil in which the graces root; the lack of humility is the sufficient explanation of every defect and failure. Humility is not so much a grace or virtue along with others; it is the root of all, because it alone takes the right attitude before God, and allows Him as God to do all.

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Romans 5:9 (KJV)
