today's pennings are an outflow of inspiration following my conversation with AMM
i will not boast in anything
no gifts no power no wisdom
but i wil boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
humility is not heritable, it's learned. through various circumstances i've come to especially understand the value of sacrifice, of casting down pride to gain the bigger reward - nothing material, by any means, but something far greater...the joy of obedience. if the perfect One didn't even brag about what He was all about - His leadership, forgiving nature, honor, smarts, strength, etc...then dare i (far from even matching His likeness) focus attention on myself and highlight my own accomplishments? NO! great pride comes before an even greater fall, and when everything you place security in is taken from you, you realize the futility of worldly possessions. but it really shouldn't take hardship to bring you to your senses. i want to trade it ALL.
........and then there are the others........
Glo, this is ridiculous - three failed attempts in the same week! hopefully we CAN talk before you leave.
feel better soon, JL. thanks for your patience. remember, nothing is too minor to bring to Him in prayer.
