God Is Most Humble

Take UP Your Cross

Prompt:
What is the meaning of Philippians 2:7?

Philippians 2:7
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

Answer:
He humbled himself. He didn't come in acting like God and all better than us. He came in acting like one of us, and not only that, but took on one of the lowest social statuses. I don't think he could be much more humble. What do you think?

Ps- Sorry about forgetting the blog prompt yesterday for today. I had unexpected company from out of state. A friend decided to surprise us with a visit. We visited for a few hours. I thought I had already sent the blog prompt. Because I got distracted by the visit, I didn't double check. Oops! 🤷‍♀️🤪

Scripture writing - Hebrews 13:1-3;16

Scripture:
1 Let brotherly love continue.
2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

Observations:
Verse 1- We must continue to walk in the love of Christ.
Verse 2- We should always be kind to everyone, especially strangers. We never know when we are entertaining angels without knowing it.
Verse 3- We should not forget to be kind to those who are in prison or are suffering for other reasons even if they deserve it. We also have been deserving of suffering for sins we have committed. We are no better than they are. Christ died for all. We all need a savior.
Verse 16- God is well pleased when we do good and communicate his love to others.

Application:
Everything we do should be for God's glory. Everything we do and say should communicate God's love to everyone.

Prayer:
Dear God,
Thank you for loving us so much. May everything we do or say reflect that love you have given us.
In christ’s name I ask it,
Amen

Queen Of Darkness  (E) A haiku about being misunderstood. #2223406 by amy-Has a great future ahead

Tell us about a time you were misunderstood.

I think sometimes I have lived a big part of my life being misunderstood, especially by my parents. There was a huge age gap between us. My dad was 47 and my mom was 36 when I was born. I was often the misfit in elementary school. I was always considered different or weird. It got better as I got older and learned how to interact better with others my age and to communicate.

if you could create a charity, what would it be called? What would be the cause and what celebrity would be your spokesperson?

I think my charity would have something to do with helping the homeless. I don't know what it would be called and what celebrity would get involved. The streets are a rough place to be forced to live. A cousin of mine got into drugs and ended up homeless for awhile. It was heartbreaking because I didn't know how to help her.
