Powerful Humility

Good Morning Beauties!
“While they were nailing Jesus to the cross, He prayed over and over, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they’re doing.’” Luke 23:34 The Passion Translation
A greater example of humility was never spoken. Jesus had just been tortured, mocked, forced to carry His own cross, abandoned by friends and family, and as He was being nailed to the cross, His thoughts were on others, us, you and me. He bowed low, submitted to His Father, God, and prayed for us. Perfect Humility!
Luke says in his gospel, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Luke 12:32-34 New International Version. Is the treasure of your heart Jesus and others, or is it on accumulating worldly possessions, position, and power? These are the things the enemy distracts us with so we will lose focus on God and His purpose for us.
Are we willing to go back to the basics and follow the two commandments of Jesus? Loving Him and loving others? Are we willing to bow our knees and pray for the needs of others and our world before thinking of ourselves? I am. Will you join me? Selah.
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
