Humility

'Be clothed with humility.' 1 Peter 5:5

'Humility is a lovely garment. Let a child of God look at his face every morning in the looking-glass of God's Word, and see his sinful spots. This will make him walk humbly all the day after. God cannot endure to see his children grow proud. He allows them to fall into sin, as he did Peter, that their plumes of pride may fall off, and that they may walk humbly.'

-the puritan Thomas Watson
