All in Humility and Love
If we are Christians, and true believers, then those in the world will hate us. They will dislike us because we are different... because we are new creations, but most of all because we are like Jesus Christ, and by that I mean “not of this world.” We know this to be the case because we hear it in our daily lives and in the conversation (prayer) between Jesus and God Himself.
How do you recognize a person who has given themselves completely over to God’s will? What one trait do you see in such saints that makes them stand out? If you mull this over in your mind, you will come to one conclusion, and one conclusion only... humility. To become a servant you must first humble yourself, to obey God without reservation you must humble yourself, and to become a child of Our Heavenly Father, you must humble yourself before Him. Do you humbly place God before yourself? Are you capable of embodying the absolute humility of Christ?
