Read As I humble myself before God he lifts me up
Every evening before bed, I make some time to reflect on my day. I think about what is true, and honourable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable, about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. I feel grateful for each blessing and acknowledge its impact on my life. Following this rhythm helps me to be in humble awe and appreciation of all the good things in my life.
I am not selfish, and I don’t try to impress others. Embracing true humility, I extend love to those in my everyday world. I don’t just think of myself and protect my own interests. Instead, I possess a greater concern for what matters to others instead of just what matters to me. I take time to listen and hear what they are saying. I want them to know they are seen and heard. What I see and hear continually amazes and blesses me, so I choose to be interruptible.
As part of God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, I clothe myself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. I extend heart-felt thanks and ask Holy Spirit, “What does love look like?” in every interaction. I seek to be completely humble and gentle; and patient, interacting with others in love.
I clothe myself with humility toward others, because God opposes the proud but offers grace to the humble and I know I need His grace. I know I have His grace and I feel so grateful for His grace. His grace empowers me to accomplish what He asks me to do. I extend His grace to others. He has shown me what He requires and what He requires is for me to live justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with my God. As I humble myself before God, He lifts me up.
Today, I am committed to feeling gratitude for each blessing I receive, and showing appreciation to everyone I feel appreciation for. Life is more fulfilling when I live in thankfulness.
Reflection Questions to Ask Holy Spirit:
- Am I living justly, loving mercy and walking humbly with my God?
- Have I been thinking of others’ interest instead of just my own?
- Do I clothe myself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience?
