CHRIST CHOSE HUMILITY NOT POWER

Proverbs16:19 It is better to be humble in Spirit with the lowly than to divide the spoil with the proud.  1 Peter 3:4 but let it be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.

Choosing Christ is a voluntary surrender of our will for His divine plan for us.  Just as Jesus chose humility, not power a conscious choice.  Goodness, humbleness, and kindness are to be a choice in our lives.  It is a willingness to live for others having found living for ourselves to be too small of a reason. Our Spiritual Fruit is a virtue that should be obvious to those around us when we follow Christ. 


Father, Your Son suffered for us, leaving us an example, which we should follow; having a modest view of our own importance.  Lord, we thank You every time we remember You; in all our prayers, thoughts and actions.  Father, we know You desire us to be good, humble, and kind because we are heirs to Your throne like Your Son.  So, Lord, help us become the people You designed us to be; and let our maturity, show others Your goodness in us.  Father, let our love abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight so that we are able to discern what is best for us.  In Jesus name, Amen
