“But the wisdom that comes from Heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy
and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.”
James 3:17-18
Have you ever noticed that all things good or all things God start with a submissive attitude…a humble spirit? I know one thing from reading scripture; There is no place in the Kingdom of God for self righteousness, pride, and all the other things that glorify me! I have also come to realize that when I am blue or down, it is because my focus was taken off of God and others and placed right back on me. Hum, maybe I’m starting to figure it out. Maybe, no most definitely, if we follow the words of Jesus in Matthew 22:37-38…”Love God THEN love others”…we can start to have this wisdom that comes from Heaven, and really get to experience the reaping of a harvest.
So if you’re feeling down today, look up first (God) and then look around (others) to see who God places in your life. I promise you will be the one who is blessed.
Have a great weekend!
