(Galatians 6:3).
We are all sinners that have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, but by his grace and mercy we are saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. Therefore, we should never think of ourselves more highly than we ought to be. We must at all times reflect and honestly evaluate ourselves by the measure of faith God has given us
(Romans 12:3). With the love of God in us, we must seek to bear each other burden, as we allow Him to transform our lives. We in ourselves are not qualified to anything of our own, because our qualification comes from God. As we open our hearts and allow the Holy Spirit to work that good works of Christ within us, we will do God's good will. We should never try to compare ourselves with others, but with humility and honesty seek always to discover what God is accomplishing through us. God has assigned us a measure of faith to do his will and we need to take responsibility for that which he has given unto us; to enhance not only our lives, but of those around us. As believers we should never see ourselves as the source of our own ability to follow Jesus, or even think ourselves too proud to carry the burdens of others. We must not see ourselves as self-reliant for anyone to help us carry our heavy load, but instead, recognise that we need each other for our journey to the kingdom of God. We should not deceive ourselves, by thinking we are better than others, more holier than others, not able to fall as do others, or look upon others with contempt or disdain. Those type of thinking and attitudes will only lead to destruction, because it is surely not of God. We must remember, that it is only through Christ that we are able to be good and do good. It is His ways that will lead us to life and eternity with him. We of ourselves cannot attain to life and salvation! Without Christ we are nothing, so let us seek to have the mind of Christ and to be like him, not to think too much nor too highly of ourselves.
Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹
'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and
