Humility We're Proud Of

   Okay, sure. That's kinda backwards. But it's to show just how unnatural it really is. We can't do it ourselves. But Jesus says it's critical, so what does that mean? Are we lost? Actually, He gave us His own Spirit as a perfect helper. Which I've been researching so you don't have to. So buckle up, brace yourself, and let's get into it!

        First off, we should respond to scripture with humility. It'd be easy to say, "I've heard from God! I have an inside track, I'm doing pretty okay!" But that would be mistaken. The trick would be to step back, receive His decree, and no matter how things go, good or bad, maintaining a constant reverence.

This becomes perfectly clear when we recognize that the Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away. And by that standard, if we get carried away with things (even ideas) more than the One who gives them, He may well take them away, to teach us a particular lesson.

And it seems kinda backwards, but we need to reaize how sacrifice is a privilege. It's not just the true meaning of love, but it's also the way He first loved us. Which is the best way to reach the prize, and hear Him say, "Well done."

I hope that blessed you. If so, please consider buying me a cup of coffee, to keep me going.
