GOD'S WORD TODAY

Mark 9:34

If someone wants to be first, let him be last of all

and servant of all. 

 ---- Mine,be still, quiet your senses,  become aware of My Presence,  open the ears of your heart and listen; pay heed to My Word to you today it is not what the world will tell you but this is what I,Your God, desire you to know, to understand and to live. Only  those who desire to live  and walk in the light of My Word will understand the value of genuine humility. In the world every one clamors to be first not so among the children of God. God turns everything on its head and teaches that the first is last, and the last first. It is not easy to practice the virtue of being little, small, insignificant, to see yourself as you are.  You know your true self; the person no one else sees but I, God. This is why if you are honest with yourself you will be humble for you will know, that if you have any virtue, it is because it has been given you through grace. 

Of yourself you can do nothing. To serve is to love the more humble the service, the greater the capacity to love and to grow in love. In the Kingdom the first will be last, and the least and last will be first. Humility is the true coin with which you receive strength for the journey from this life to the next.
