God Gave

God gave up heaven and came to earth
so that we could give up earth and go to heaven.

God gave up spirituality to take on humanity
so that we could give up humanity to take on spirituality.

God gave up life to take on death
so we might give up death and take on life.

God gave up holiness to take on sin
so we could give up sin and take on holiness.

God went to hell and took the keys
so we could take the keys and go to heaven.

There is no God like our God!

Humility

Envy, jealousy, and pride are
marks of carnality.

Humility is the mark of
spirituality.

Humility and carnality cannot
co-exist.

When we reach the place that we
are willing to see the abatement
of our kingdom for the advancement
of God's, we have experienced true
humility.

John the Baptist declared such when
he said, "He must increase, I must
decrease."

Only when we lose do we win in the
Kingdom of God.

God helps the humble and resists the
proud.

We should approach God as the publican,
with head bowed low, not feeling as if
we are worthy of anything.

We can do nothing without God. We may
plant, we may water, but only God can
give the increase.

Of what value is planting or watering
without an increase?

In these last days, let us strive to
be humble and spiritual.
