Better than I am

Ever sit in an environment, in a place where you had knowledge or experience in what was going on, and pick it apart? If so, where’s the humility that we so often spout. When directly asked what could be done, we so often keep our mouths shut, but behind shut lips, the overflow of our arrogant hearts is begging to get out. I can’t say how painful it is to watch someone who will claim not to be proud, or the best, but communicate that with loud speakers with their actions. This church does this, this person does that, I wouldn’t do it that way, look at how they do that. I’m not immune. I have caught myself in my car criticizing and judging the person on the radio, someone I don’t even have the luxury to meet and know. How sick is that? How sick am I?
To stand and heap that kind of spirit unto a person demonstrates a place in ones heart that is so tarnished with the self…
It happens more than we think. And God stands by with patience and watches us reject the purity of heart that the Spirit offers. Patiently, he is waiting for us to look at that dark corner, where we still cling to our old self. I sense his heart, and it longs to see us set free, from pride, from this egocentric state of being that not only affects us, but affects others.
Know Christ and be free. He came to give us life, and life to it’s fullest. Open your heart, all of it. Be broken, in every way. Most of all, love others, like Christ loved you. Extend that same mercy and grace to all others, just as Christ did and is doing.
Roach out.
