"Whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; and whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
If a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man, ... not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. When ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
Our rejoicing is this, ... that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world. We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."
Fact: My heart desires to be like Jesus, and surrender all that I am to Him.
Fact: Flesh gets in the way sometimes. ( a lot)
Fact: For godly wisdom to enter in, worldly thoughts must be washed out.
Fact: Too often we rely upon man rather than the God of this universe.
Cleanse me, O God.
Cleanse my thoughts, actions, soulish emotions, and anything that is not of You.
I need you all of my days, and I can do nothing without you. Help me to love the unlovable,
and to persevere through the uncomfortable. I know that it is only through You I can do any of these things.
You are awesome, You are mighty, and there is definitely none like You.
In Your Son's precious name.
