A Humble Person Does Not Stoop

8-21-19
Continued from: We Live In A Society That Competes:

It is said that a humble person does not stoop smaller than he or she is; he or she stands at his real height seeing the reality of how small he or she is compared to God. When he or she humbles their-selves , they does not have to put on an act anymore because they has the real thing. He, of course, is opposed by those who do not have the real thing and experiences some form of persecution -such as a loss of friends.

Jesus said: "if they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you". But humility causes us to begin to fit into God's Kingdom and into the purpose He has for our lives which is fellowship with Himself. In trusting humility, we can open the door of our hearts to Jesus Himself and consummate our spiritual marriage to Him through a real, personal, loving relationship.
Revelation 3:20

Simply put, any relationship is an exchange of love-the giving and receiving of love. I think, our Lord makes this exchange possible through the power of His love that He offers us continually. The Bible says that we can love God because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19

I think that Jesus holds His love out to us 24 hours of everyday-He is that available.


Love always, Walter

That's a good thing, to tell about what humility is, not a false humility, but a true one.

Matthew 26:39 Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will."
Matthew 17:6 When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown in terror.
Revelation 7:11 And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. And they fell facedown before the throne and worshiped God,
