True humility and generosity

[Brigid]

The Humility that does not produce generosity is undoubtedly false, for true humility, after it has said, "I can do nothing; I am only absolute nothingness," suddenly gives place to generosity of spirit, which says "There is nothing and there can be nothing that I am unable to do, so long as I put all my confidence in God, who can do all things." And so, buoyed up by this confidence, it courageously undertakes to do all that is commanded.

Lovely! Yes that's the right way to put it!

I am considering this and thinking.. with this in mind perhaps I will be able to do more for the Lord than I have done in the past and in a better spirit!

"There is nothing and there can be nothing that I am unable to do, so long as I put all my confidence in God, who can do all things." And so, buoyed up by this confidence, it courageously undertakes to do all that is commanded.

This really speaks to me, also.

There's a great lesson in this.
Reminds me what the Lord said to his deciples, "For without Me you can do nothing."

Yes exactly! It is as if the quote were also, 'With Me you can do all things!'
