My Strength Made Perfect In Weakness.2Cor12:9
Oh man how I cringe at that word. WEAKNESS. Far be it for me to admit that I'm weak. ME a Child of God are you kidding . Pride sounds like this , but it sounds good right . Does it sound familiar. I had to go before my Father for this past few days and admit the pride within that would not let me admit that I was weak and useless without Him. I thought in my own strength oh Faith youre doing a great job. Just keep crying out , just keep confessing While all along feeding that sly spirit of old, Pride. (Don't get me twisted there is absolutely nothing wrong with crying out to God , but even in our crying out there should still be a total dependance upon Him) Thinking and convincing myself within the the depths of an deceptive heart that I was doing all of this in total dependance on God. Not so and because Father knew that I wasnt purposely doing this and the Word says," My people perish for lack of knowledge"Hosea 4:6. He showed me the error in my ways of thinking and my downfall in the belief system that I had. I WAS A PHARISEE HIDDEN WITHIN!!!!!!!!! (More on that later!)That scripture futher reads that if we reject the Knowledge that is given the destruction that comes along behind it. The lack of humility that we have shows us the lack of humility for the Father we have. Cause ultimately we are telling Him I got this. Let's start on this journey of killing that pride within by bringing our lives which is our will, minds, and emotions into total dependance on the Father.
Love you All 1w/God

HUMILITY
When its all said and done. Youve done all your mighty acts of worship and healing and teaching and preaching. When youve lived it up with all of the best that life has to offer. When youve got the car, the house, the family the image. All your schooling and degrees ,when you look back how much did you really thank God for? How much did you do on your on or thought that you did? When you look back how much of it was that God may be glorified? We hear the word about being humble and serving God. We associate that if Im humble and let people have their way then God will bless me for it. Never really having the heart of a servant only really looking for the gain to this life. The true gain is being a servant in this life that God may be all and all. Jesus was the perfect example of a servant. Without every move ,motive and outcome being God /Jesus being all and all we have no humility BOTTOMLINE. Thats the virtue and purpose of our Saviour's life that the Father may be all and all. IS THAT YOURS?
