"If they really possess the meek and lowly spirit which God so highly esteems, help them to retain it. This will not be done by censuring them nor by neglecting to properly appreciate their true worth. But there are few who can bear praise without being injured. 3T 185.1"
"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls."
EGW directly references the importance of meekness and lowliness of spirit, which are central themes in Matthew 11:29. She connects these qualities to God's esteem and warns against actions that could diminish them.
