Come to God with Humility

My thoughts about the verses:

Our hearts are often full of pride.  We think about all the things that we have achieved in life.  We are proud of our children, our families and our work.  We are caught up with what we have done and will do in our life.

Yet, are we truly happy?  We talk about hinges as if we achieved it through our own good yet isn’t there a fear that it will go away.  We have our hope taken away when something goes wrong in our life.  We are never truly happy because of our anxiety that things will change for the worse.

When a person has their hope in God things change in their life.  They come to accept that t is not their power that makes things happen.  They accept that life will have its ups and downs.  Yet, in those times they have God to rely on.  They are content with life because they do not fear the future.

We need to open our eyes and see that it is not our works that have led us to salvation.  We need to accept that our future of eternal life is not achieved by deeds.  Our gift of salvation came through the blood of the perfect lamb.  We are only receivers of the gift not the makers of the gift.  God is the salvation that we need to have a rich and full life.

When we come to accept that we are only receivers of grace our lives change.  We do not look at our achievements with eyes of pride.  Instead we come to be humble knowing that God has given us all that we have.  That it is God’s grace and mercy that has set us apart from others.  Our eyes are open to the fact that we are given love and happiness from the one that sets us free from the complexities of the world.

When you come to that point that you go to God in humbly and humbleness you will see things in a new light.  You will be thankful for what you have.  You will rejoice knowing that the next life is a treasure beyond measure.  Your willingness to do things for others will become a highlight in your life.  You will become the person that God desires in all of us.

Prayer:

We praise you God for your love and mercy.  We thank you for your hope and salvation.  Help us to come to you without a heart of pride.  Help us come to you humbly accepting that it is your power which has made us whole.  In the name of the Messiah we pray.  Amen

Questions:

Have you accepted Jesus in your life?  Have you come to the point that you realize that it is the grace of God that has made you whole?  Are you willing to help others?  Are you willing to thank God for all that you have been given in this life?
