Friends,
last week I thought to myself may God forbid me ever getting proud, for
I got the image of skin, bones and a bag of dust!
God made us from the earth and when we die we shall return to dust.
When He comes again in glory to receive all those who He sees fit to
enter into His Kingdom, we shall be given new bodies.
All our talents, gifts are from Him. Wisdom, intelligence, our entire
being is His creation. We look to people and raise them up on
pedestals. Scientists to surgeons, sculptors to saints, we stand in awe
of their achievements and make them our idols.
God looks at us and perhaps wonders why do we look at our or others
achievements and forget that it all comes from Him, our Creator?
Skin, bones and a bag of dust, that's what I want to be
reminded of when I think of myself, lest I become proud. The rest, if
any of it good is all from Him.
"Lord Jesus thank
You for reminding us that You are our Creator and therefore if we boast
let us boast about You. Help us never to be proud and if we should fall
or fail, correct us and bring us to right order again. Please do not
let self have victory over us, we put it at the Foot of the Cross
today. Take over our lives and make us holy. Thank You amen."
"Come Holy Spirit of the Living God. We invite You deeper into our lives - please have Your complete way in us. May Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in all who are ready to forsake self for the Glory of the Father and the Son. Transform us and help us to become as You desire. Thank You amen"
