humility.

Humility is put to the test when faced with disrespect. When we feel cheated, do we react in arrogance to defend and prove our worth? or do we take a step back and realize that we have decided to place our worth in Christ? Because meekness is not to accept the mistreatment we receive as something deserved, but it is simply reacting in love and forgiveness. Even when we feel cheated or hurt by God, it sheds light upon our selfish pride that keeps us from living a life of complete abandonment. How will we carry a cross in the midst of persecution and tribulations if we are without humility?

Our self-worth is established and defended not through pride, but humility. That's where Jesus is.

bottomless fountains

sometimes, when I come to a deeper understanding of a certain truth, I'm even more overjoyed knowing that at some point, I will encounter another epiphany that will take me even deeper into that truth.

and every epiphany will come to completion in heaven. what we know of love, glory, peace, worship, beauty, freedom, purpose... life. of the why's and what's and how's, of God, of Jesus, of the Holy Spirit. it will all come together. in perfection. it's unimaginable. I can't wait..!
