God wants only one thing from us – humility, nothing else. ( St. Paisios )

God wants only one thing from us – humility, nothing else. He only wishes to help us through His Divine grace, which He gave us through Holy Baptism, even before we do anything, before we love Him, before our exploit, because of His inexpressible goodness. His Grace helps us love the Lord, to know Him. The Lord fulfills everything —we should only have humility, so as not to hinder the Divine grace, but let it act. We prevent it from acting, when we have no humility. Only one thing opposes Divine grace — pride.

St. Paisios
