What Does It Mean To Be Humble?

. . God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. James 4:6

It's hard to believe! Jesus was with His
disciples. Read what happened: "so he [Jesus] got up from the meal . .
. and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water
into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with
the towel . . ." (John 13: 4-5).

Jesus, God the Son, washing
feet! People wore sandals. Roads were very dusty. When anyone came to
visit, a servant had to wash feet. Was this a great job? No! Did
servants like to do it? No! Did someone ask Jesus to wash feet? No!

Jesus
chose to do this job to show He was not too proud to be a servant.
Jesus had a humble heart. A humble person cares more about others than
he cares about himself. He does not have a problem with pride. To be
humble, like Jesus, you must be willing to help someone who has a need.
Even if no one says "Thanks!" or "Great job!" Even if no one notices
you. It's hard! We want people to praise us and give us prizes.

God will help you. Look for ways to serve others. Don't expect everyone to pay attention to you. Follow the example of Jesus.

Purpose I Live

I am who i am
I'm the1 that GOD want me to be
I'm his precious child tat no1 will same like me
I'm just some1 tat special and u cant find others like me


* I am who i am 4 a reason
I'm part of an intricate plan
i'm a precious & perfect inique design
Called God's special child

I look like i look 4 a reason
My God make no mistake
He knit me together with the womb
I'm just wat he wanted 2 make

The parents i had were the ones He chose
And no matter how i feel
They were custom-design with God's plan in mind
And they bear the Master's seal

No, that trauma i faced was not easy
And God wept that it hurts me so
But it was allowed to shape my heart
So that into His likeness i'd grow

I am who i am for a reason
I've been formed by the Master's rod
I am who i am, beloved
Because there is a GOD! *
