Laying down your life

 

Laying down your feelings your thoughts your base emotions and what your dealing with for another. it is completely contrary to the ways of this modern world. We are born into this world and the first thing we learn is to communicate our needs, then wants. Do you know the difference? So you have the ability to be content when your needs only are met? Christ said who ever is to be greatest in the kingdom will be last.

Matthew 23:11“But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.” 

Matthew 20:16“So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.”

 

When we are willing to put ourselves last. Even our attacks, our mental struggles, our personal stuff last.... in order to listen, care for, support,  or pray with another of the Faith. On then you are beginning to step into servant-hood.   Servant hood encompasses so much more then that.  Servant-hood often entails doing the opposite of what you want and and think is your priority to take care of or tend to anothers wants or needs. Love was intended to be a verb. AN ACTION WORD.  We can say we love our brother but do we really???? What about when your not in the mood? What about when your overwhelmed, tired, cranky, or sick???  

 

John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. (Matthew 22:39, Lev. 19:18)

 

Do you love your brother or sister in the Faith with the patience concern and care that you would hope for when you are at your worst? Even if they are not seemingly at their worst??? The Most High can help you to do it!!
