The Gift of Humility

Humility…

More than a gift, humility is a reflection. A reflection of Christ. It is the state of not thinking of yourself or that you are better than others. Rather it's a state of selflessness. It's an attitude that does not demand it's own way or cling to it's own rights. Instead, it places others interests before its own. Humility, is the perfect description of Christ. Humility is what we should all desire and posses, especially this time of year.

"Your attitude should be the same that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not demand and cling to his rights as God. He made himself nothing; he took the humble position of a slave and appeared in human form. And in human form he obediently humbled himself even further by dying a criminal's death on a cross." Philippians 2:5-8

Am I Prepared?

It's the night before His special day and as I lay my head down my heart wonders if its prepared for Him.

Can it really grasp the extraordinary event that took place long ago? Does it comprehend the meaning of His birth? 

I am not sure I have ever been able to fully digest His love. Who am I that He would leave His place of honor to come to earth and die for me? 

His love for me/us is so big it can't be contained. 

I am thankful to have a Savior such as He.

Jesus thank You for loving us so much that You entered the darkness so that we might have light. Prepare our hearts for tomorrow as we wake to celebrate Your birthday. Amen
