How I love the Word

WoW how I love the Word!

12:16 Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; never be conceited.


 I have a bent of being prideful and to not live in harmony with everyone. It's easy to just love those who love you. But we are called to bless those who curse.

 I do however try to associate with the lowly. Who are the poor?
I have giving my life to God so that I may reach the poor... It's one of my missions in life.
The poor in spirit
The poor in wealth
The poor in love
The poor in friends
The poor in every way

then the last part of that verse to not be conceited.
it reminds me of the story of the Good samaritan. The first people that did not stop to help him were conceited and too occupied with themselves to notice the needs of the half dead person on the street. I am of little or no use to the world around me with half dead people if I am too preoccupied with what I look like, what I have going on in my own life, my own problems and worries.

It reminds me of that song from Third Day This video has it


I needed to be reminded of that today
Forgive me Lord of getting wrapped up in the worries of the world and forgetting the dieing people beaten and left for dead on the side of the road. You are free in my life to call me to serve them. Speak to me when you need me! In Jesus name and Through Jesus' Grace I serve you Lord - AMEN!

Theresa - AMEN!

Rebekah I love you too girl!

Angela - Oh you just don't know girl! I used to hold grudges for years and treat people I do not know with disdain. I still have that thorn in the flesh that wants to curse those who curse me and look out for number 1. I am really loyal to my friends and people know that but the pendulum swings and I can be an utter nightmare that does not care. I used to fight a  lot and most of those fights were with people who were my best friends. I rarely fought a person I wasn't great friends with. Those were the people that My sister got me into fights with but that's for another blog.... I was known for not wanting to be on your bad side.... But then again the pendulum swung in God's side and I can be the opposite way. ALWAYS thinking of others. Still the demons of old know my buttons and they push them. I know have the tools that are sufficient to silence them more often and every know and then I call out for Grace and correct my short comings. It's taken a lot of killing off flesh to get to where I am now lots of sweat, tears, embarrasment, forgiveness, stupidicy before God and I still have very far to go! LOL Praise God we dont work for our salvation I would never make it. I'm going for the presents!!! My love Language is Gifts.......
