Day 8 "Yet You Wear Humility"
Good Morning Beauties!
In our pursuit of knowing more about our "loveliness," let's look at what seems to be a contradiction: authority and service wrapped into one. Majesty, (power and authority) have been given to us through the Holy Spirit. We are strong knowing Christ lives in us, and yet, there is another side of Jesus which is the perfect example of humility.
What does the Bible say about this matter, and how are we to respond? "Your attitude should be the kind that was shown us by Jesus Christ, who, though he was God, did not demand and cling to his rights as God, but laid aside his mighty power and glory, taking the disguise of a slave and becoming like men. And he humbled himself even further, going so far as actually to die a criminal’s death on a cross." Philippians 2:5-8
Jesus loved us so much He left His throne and rightful place to come into the world as a human. HIs life was filled with love through service, and then He fulfilled His purpose of reconciliation as He died on a cross for you and me. Jesus' life is the perfect example for us to follow to indeed live a beautiful life. When the ugliness of pride creeps in, banish it with the truth of your humility.
How can we live our lives making sure His heart shines through us? Is He asking us to leave concern for ourselves to Him while we concentrate on loving others? If we are true followers of Christ, isn’t this our mandate through the Great Commission? What is God asking you to do to live a humble life filled with service to others? Selah.
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
