"Humility Was His Secret Strength: Charles Simeon (1759-1836)"

"Those two things were the heartbeat of Simeon’s inner life: growing downward in humility and growing upward in adoring communion with God."

"As Simeon grew down in humiliation, he grew upward in worship and joy — all the way to the end. As he lay dying in October of 1836, a friend sat by his bed and asked what he was thinking of just then. He answered, “I don’t think now; I am enjoying” (Charles Simeon, 172)."
