"It means a complete absence of pride, a complete absence of self-assurance and self-reliance. It means a consciousness that we are nothing in the presence of God. It is nothing, then, that we can produce; it is nothing that we can do in ourselves. It is just this tremendous awareness of our utter nothingness as we come to face to face with God. That is to be poor in spirit." D. M. Lloyd-Jones
"Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:3
