Humbleness

Alo!

How are you doing? Today in my school there was this activity that takes place every month; we call it "Student of the Month". We praise God, listen to a preach and then receive some awards. I want to share with you about today's preach which really touched my heart. The lady who shared the word of God with us was Mrs. Iona, the Principal's wife.  She was telling us about God's desire of helping us in our burdens. She gave us some examples of situations where we can be carrying some loads that God can simply help us holding it. For example, when there is a topic that you don't understand and you have Test the next day, you can freely ask the Lord for help and knowledge; He will definitely help you. Don't stress out! You are not alone, you have someone that will be with you until you give your last breath. Whenever you feel you are carrying something too heavy, just STOP, and ask the Lord for help. God is strong enough to carry any burden, just let him help you! Sometimes we feel that we can do everything by our own, but the truth is that we are dust and miserables without God.

Our Lord Jesus taught us a lesson that we should never forget; humbleness. Can you imagine Jesus here on Earth being God but still He was a humble man. Even though He was a king, He came to Earth as a servant. In fact, He said that whoever wants authority should serve other. That shows us the importance of being humble. God says in the Bible that whoever exalts himself will be humbled and who humbles himself will be exalted. We can prove this by just studying Jesus' life-style. Jesus was a carpenter's son, He lived as an ordinary person, He really didn't have much money, but  He walked in a spiritual atmosphere. When He was taken to die, they spitted Him at His face, soldiers spanked Him, they nailed Him on a cross and people placed a Spine crown on His head. Don't you think He was brave enough but also humble because He was already a King, but He came here to Earth to give us Hope and Salvation! After passing through all these, He was declared the Lord of lords and King of kings. God exalted Him because He was humble until death! We humans tend to be proud and think that we can do all things because we are smart enough or strong enough. When a person thinks that he/she doesn't need God in His life then that person have the risk of failing in life. We should all look for humbleness. The enemy wants for you to believe that people should praise you and exalt you because that is what he had always wanted for himself. God sent him out of Heaven because he was seeking for people to praise him; he was not humble. If you have good grades, try to keep it as a secret, that way, you don't risk of having "ego" and save yourself of thinking you are better than your classmates. If you received an award, give the Glory to the Lord because HE is the one who deserves every award. Don't ever think you  can do things because of who you are, because we do things because of who He is. Remember, if you want to have authority or a high place then you should start by serving others! Lets follow Jesus' example; He is the best example we can actually follow. Be brave!
