DAY THIRTEEN: HUMILITY

Hello and welcome to our thirteenth day!
God bless you for your faithfulness in reflecting with SHARING LIFE.

Whiles praying today, I was prompted on the life of Jesus Christ in relation to the topic for our reflection today.

You see, Jesus Christ was a man of humility.

I believe that when you know who you are, you don't go about claiming things for yourself or trying to prove or disprove the notions of others.

Jesus knew where His home actually is.
He knew that He is King.
He knew He is the fullness of wealth itself.
He knew all that the Scriptures said about Him while on Earth.

He didn't have to prove to anyone that He was mighty or capable of healing the sick or raising the dead.
He only walked in the will of His Father and He did all that we read in the Bible and even more.

Personally, I see pride to be the the actions exhibited by a person who does not know his or her true identity.

When you know who your Father is you don't seek the Glory of men.
When you are aware of your true identity, you do not make it your daily goal to prove to anyone who you are or what you are made of.
When you know who you are, you are as down to earth as you can ever be because you know what you have and make it available for those who do not have.

Ask yourself:
Have my actions indirectly portrayed arrogance?
Do I really know who I am?
Has the knowledge of myself influenced my relationship with others?

If you are not sure of who you are, ask the Holy Spirit to show you as you go through what the Scriptures say about you.

If you're lacking in humility, please ask the Holy Spirit to groom you into a man or a woman of great humility.
Please note that the grooming is not always pleasant thus make it a conscious decision to stick to the grooming process.

It's still #SHARINGLIFE

Remain blessed.

Go With God

When I started Sharing Life, my intention was to put out what I knew Holy Spirit was teaching me. This was what He asked me to do. It wasn't to parade myself as an all-figured-out girl who was on her way to becoming a preacher. It was a journey of life I was learning and one which I had received the go-ahead to let the world in on. Somewhere on this road, I was seen as a "Woman of God" and put on this high and mighty pedestal which wasn't me. And you know what, in such moments, it is so easy to get carried away by the accolades of men to the point where you lose sight of your journey, where you are and decide to serve the expectations of others... thereby neglecting your own journey and growth. After taking a very long break from active writing, I have on numerous occasions attempted to start writing again but the fear of being put on that pedestal has stopped me so many times. I am a child of God. I am a girl on a journey. I don't have it all f...

Day six: The perfect start

Waking up to pray has been extremely hard to do in the past few days. For some time now, I wake up in the mornings feeling more tired than I went to bed. And so although my eyes are open, it is a real struggle getting out of the bed. Initially, this morning, I was feeling bad about it. After a few minutes, I resolved to pray from my bed. I did that… and ended up sleeping at a point . It was better than nothing. That moment taught me that the perfect start is the one that happens from exactly where you are. There is a reason why God wants this relationship with us: aside from the fact that it is a love thing, God also knows that we truly and sincerely cannot make it in this life without Him. He Is not looking for a perfect daughter neither is He searching for a perfect son. He Is perfect and His perfection is enough for all of us. I remember those times when I would tell my spiritual father I was struggling to pray. He would say to me: Why don’t you ask the Lord to help you? Why d...

Daughter of the King by Jamie Grace ft. Morgan Harper Nichols

[Verse 1: Jamie Grace] They tell me I'm too young Tell me I'm not beautiful I'm not good enough I'm not worth anything at all They tell me I dream too much I got my head in the clouds Maybe I'm just hoping For something better than what I see now A world where every girl knows [Chorus 1: Jamie Grace] The Maker of skies, the Maker of seas The Maker of every beautiful thing He made you, He made you too The mountain high, the river wide He tells the sun when to set and rise And He made you, He made you too You're a daughter of the King So tell me, what does that make you? [Verse 2: Morgan Harper Nichols] So put your shoulders back Don't you know that you're beautiful You don't gotta tell 'em that, no Just walk around like you know And if you see our sister (if you see our sister) Looking like she forgot Like her dreams got crushed You better remind her [Chorus 1: Morgan Harper Nichols] The Maker of skies, the Maker o...
