To Be Humble!

67 times in scripture God and his son mention pride and the sin it is.  67 times God reminds us that pride is not of his heart but of this world.  Pride leads to judgement… judgement leads to more pride… excessive pride leads to loss of love.  Pride in our social standing…  in our worldly riches.  Pride in our country.  Pride in our ethnicity.  Pride in all the things we place importance on that do not matter.  How many times do we use pride in searching for a way to feel better about ourselves.  “Blessed are the humble in spirit for they shall look upon the face of God”.   When is the last time you put all pride aside and humbled yourself before the Lord? Our Savior humbled himself more than anyone ever will.  He deserves for us to try!!
I Love You!

Father I know they are not what you intended them to be.  I know they disappoint you more than you can bare.  I know you want to wash your hands of them but I see hope.  I see love in their hearts and goodness in their spirit.  Let me save them!   Son.. that would…

It doesn’t matter what you think you know!  Jesus has chosen you! Each day I study.  Each day I pray for wisdom.  Each day I read.  Daily I am enlightened, in my quiet time, to strive harder.  To move closer.  To ponder more… in a desire to know the heart of my Savior.  We should…

He Will Find Us!

I couldn’t take my eyes from them.  As I watched my grandkids play in the park I felt uneasy at the thought of them being lost or taken.  So much so that nothing else mattered at the time.  Them being with me and their safety was all that concerned me.  Then I thought of how…
