love isHumble…

Love is not proud…

It is not self indulgent…

Love is kind…

Being confident in who you are is a quality of freedom…

Being confident in who you are not…  is even better…

“Then Jesus told this story to some who had great self confidence and scorned everyone else:  “Two men went to the Temple to pray.  One was a Pharisee, and the other was a dishonest tax collector.

The proud Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer…:’I thank You, God, that I am not a sinner like everyone else, especially like the tax collector over there!  For I never cheat, I don’t sin, I don’t commit adultery, I fast twice a week, and I give You a tenth of my income.’

But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed.  Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying.. ‘O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.’

I tell you that the sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home justified.

For the proud will be humbled, and the humble will be honored.”

Luke 18:9-14

These words poured out of Jesus’ heart speak volumes to mine…

Lord, how awesome is Your love…

How beautiful… forgiving and pure.

Today, I drink this cup of humbleness… with deep gratitude and joy…

I am so grateful You know my name…

May my heart be forever changed… May my thoughts not wander from all that is good, all that is right, and all that is true…

I choose to see the good in other people…

In bad situations..

In sadness and in joy…

May I see the good.. the hope…

The purity of Your love..

Keep my tongue from hurtful words Oh Lord…

In Jesus Name,

I pray,

Amen

“Finally brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things…”

Romans 4:8

There is so much beauty.  So much freedom in love…
