Where is it written into law that I must cut myself down? I have often wondered this...primarily because I, like some of you, must always have something to critique or "improve upon."
Sure it's true, God has designed us to be dependent upon Him so as to understand His greatness; but why do I feel the need to do the self-degrading thing when it comes to a weakness I have? Just two days ago I sat across the table from my daughter eating her breakfast. She brushed her hair back and looked at me and said, "dad, Jesus and God made me...and they gave me such a pretty face." Wow, I thought, did "they" see fit to insert any humility?
The more I considered it, the more I thought of II Cor. 3:18 "And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being
transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes
from the Lord, who is the Spirit."
Tell me, when you read this, what are your thoughts. Do you feel like you reflect the Glory of God? If so, why...if not why? Lets chat about it
