LET GOD BE EXALTED

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, (Ephesians 2:8) Though many people think they are who they are because of their own goodness or their great abilities, some think they have arrived, they have it going on; nothing and no one can tell them anything, but the reality is that, none of us are where we need to be. We are no better than the next, none of us are perfect yet we as children of God are all striving or should be striving to get to that place in Him. Scripture states: All of us have become like one who is unclean, and ALL OUR RIGHTEOUS ACTS ARE LIKE FILTHY RAGS; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind OUR SINS SWEEP US AWAY. Isaiah 64:6

 We are who we are because of God's grace and His mercy. No, we are not where we need to be but the flip side of that is we are not where we use to be. (GRACE AND MERCY) We mustn't boast or brag as if it’s all about us,  yet once God has freed us we can't dwell on the wrong we have done either, nor should we dwell on the difficulties we may face in our daily walk, we must look beyond all of that and look at the great person we are becoming. We are always in the process of becoming like our Creator (Christ) And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect His glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2Corinthians 3:18

 Little images of Christ are what we ought to aim for. When people look at us they should see characteristics of our Father. He must increase and we decrease; John 3:30 A child of God should be humble not full of pride; The proud looks of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be humbled, and the LORD alone shall be exalted. Isaiah 2:11

 Let us pray to be bendable, pliable, and moldable so that we will be more like Christ in all that we do. May the Lord be exalted in our lives!!!!!
