Not a matter of right or wrong

Read: Luke 18:9-14

Key verse/s: " To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable...For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." vs. 9, 14b

Realizations:

Thank God for reconciliation. Thank God for the Holy Spirit. Thank God for His family.

The past few days, God has been pruning my heart to become humble especially in reconciling with some of my friends. Many, many times my pride got in the way saying, "What did I do wrong? I don't deserve to be hurt this way. I was just concern about him/her. Why should I say sorry?" Just pondering on saying "sorry" was making my heart rebel against God.

But the Holy Spirit opened the "law" in my heart and brought me to this scripture. In front of God, everyone stands on level ground. No one is so right above the other. We are imperfect and therefore all our opinions can be flawed. What matters before God is whether we are humble or we are prideful.

In the spirit of reconciliation, I know that many of us will try to talk to each other and resolve things. Please remember, just as God reminded me that, the one who's humble is the one who will please God. The one who will admit that he is a sinner and undeserving of anything before God will go home justified and forgiven by man and by God.

Congratulations to all who have reconciled already and to those who haven't, continue praying for God to give you the right heart.

Love you brothers and sisters!
