The search for peace

"The greatest among you will be your servant. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." - Matt 23:11-12

Humility is more than just the act of being humble or modest. I think true humility in one is reflected when one places God above the self in everything that he does. So instead of being the center of the circle and God the circumference of it, we ought to become the circumference with God in the center so that all we do is according to God's bidding.

PRAYER:
"Dear Father, help me to learn to revere, obey and thank You; to express the appropriate sorrow for sin; and to pursue a quietness in which I might be able to hear Your whisper. Abba Father, there is so much noise and distraction our lives, most, if not all of which, emphasizes the importance of the self. Indeed, the world today has never been more focused personal gratification than ever. So Father, would you help me to filter out all these noises and distractions in my life, and help me to come back into the quietness and peace of Yours. As your disciple Paul has said, 'The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus, only possible through a relationship with Him.' So Father, help me not to fall away from your grace; whenever that happens, I trust You'll nudge me gently back into your path of righteousness. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen."
