Make me like a little child,
Simple, teachable, and mild;
Seeing only in Thy light;
Walking only in Thy might!

Humility

More quotes by John Berridge

Avoid all controversy in preaching, talking, or writing; preach nothing down but the devil, and nothing up but Jesus Christ.

Run, John, and work, the law commands,
Yet finds me neither feet nor hands;
But sweeter news the gospel brings,
It bids me fly and lends me wings.
