it's me

I never thought of it that way

Yesterday in church we were learning about prayer. Specifically focused on Philippians 1:9-11. Good stuff.

He talked about how God is love and that if God is love and God has always been love, who did He love in the beginning. HE LOVED HIMSELF! So now, the Holy Spirit is in us loving Himself. It was kinda cool to think about it that way.

To go further with that, he talked about how from the OT we were told that His house should be a house of prayer to all nations. And now, we are His house, His temple. We are a house of prayer to all nations now. So stinkin' cool. I love it.

Just something I've noticed

And I've realized this before, but I heard a conversation tonight that was a reminder.

Usually if I'm defensive about something that could be a sin in my life, It probably is. And all my efforts to justify it are useless. It's sin!

In my own life I'm being reminded about the importance of humility. So often I don't get my way, or don't get recognized the way I think I should and I lash out. I think the Bible says something about pride coming before a fall. . .
