Are you Ambitious and filled with Self Preservation?

The same way God treats us when we mess up,

 is the same way we need to treat others when they mess up. 

-with forgiveness and mercy. 

 The reality is we learn by failure alot of times!

This is especially with our own family!

 

We have to let our children see us relying on God's wisdom

rather than our own. 

 

Serving another person is most often in the daily considerations
and not necessarily the big things of life!

Lord, give me strength, health, wisdom, discernment to serve others.

 

Put on your feet the gospel of peace. 

Whoever You put before me,

that is who I am supposed to be fully present to.

With Your grace and wisdom.

 

"God's action is boundless in its scope and power,

but it can only fill our souls if we empty them of all false

confidence in our own ability.  

Work or every kind of prayer, vocal or mental,

active or passive,

are all nothing

 unless Your will gives them meaning."

-Abandonment to Divine Providence

 

Please don't let me be hard of hearing, slow to understand.

Please give me a quickness to hear Your word and grace to obey.

Help me to know, love, and understand You.

 

Have you come to a fork in the road of life?

Do you wait on Him and say, "Yes!"

What is in His will,

He works all things out in His own perfect way and timing.

-A Gentle Spirit

 

Pride or self importance?

After Peter's infilling of the Spirit,

Peter had a commitment to the truth,

no longer to fame.

He had a new fire and boldness.

His self ambitious, self preserving ways had died.

The Spirit of God in Peter lived strong.

-Susie Larson

 

Living by faith means we SURRENDER our will

and our logical reasoning that we might follow God because we trust Him

more than we trust ourselves.
