Many of the bible characters fell just in the things in which they were thought to be strongest. moses failed in his humility, abraham in his faith, elijah in his courage, for one woman scared him away to that juniper-tree; and peter, whose strong point was boldness, was so frightened by a maid, as to deny his lord.

Strong Character Humility

More From Dwight L. Moody

It is almost impossible to overestimate the value of true humility and its power in the spiritual life. for the beginning of humility is the beginning of blessedness and the consummation of humility is the perfection of all joy. humility contains in itself the answer to all the great problems of the life of the soul. it is the only key to faith, with which the spiritual life begins: for faith and humility are inseparable. in perfect humility all selfishness disappears and your soul no longer lives for itself or in itself for god: and it is lost and submerged in him and transformed into him.

We know that elijah did return—at least twice—after malachi's promise. at christ's transfiguration, elijah appeared on the mount to peter, james, and john. at the kirtland temple, april 3, 1836, elijah appeared to the prophet and oliver cowdery and said, 'the keys of this dispensation are committed into your hands.'

Peter erred in life and in doctrine. paul might have dismissed peter's error as a matter of no consequence. but paul saw that peter's error would lead to the damage of the whole church unless it were corrected. therefore he withstood peter to his face. the church, peter, the apostles, angels from heaven, are not to be heard unless they teach the genuine word of god.

It is often said in the bible that god spake unto moses, but how do you know that god spake unto moses? because, you will say, the bible says so. the koran says, that god spake unto mahomet, do you believe that too? no. why not? because, you will say, you do not believe it; and so because you do, and because you don't is all the reason you can give for believing or disbelieving except that you will say that mahomet was an impostor. and how do you know moses was not an impostor?

I have the belief in boldness. what i generally lack is the boldness itself. because boldness doesn't feel bold. it feels scared not brave.

A strong woman is a woman who craves love like oxygen or she turns blue choking. a strong woman is a woman who loves strongly and weeps strongly and is strongly terrified and has strong needs. a strong woman is strong in words, in action, in connection, in feeling; she is not strong as a stone but as a wolf suckling her young. strength is not in her, but she enacts it as the wind fills a sail.
