Serving God, By Serving Others

Good Morning!! There's a secret, to genuinely and consistently serving others,...and Peter says; it's humility. As long as we're set upon pleasing our self, fulfilling our self, and seeking self-advancement, we will never be able to genuinely serve others. Be clothed with humility. A wonderful and poignant way of emphasizing the need for a constant covering of our self-seeking human nature. Humility needs to be the attire we choose to walk in, and live in each day. Why not keep living this self-deprecating, self-absorbed way of life? Because the reply is simple and powerful,...God resists proud people,...but He gives grace and help to the humble.

In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble."—1 Peter 5:5 (NIV)

God gives to the humble,...others-oriented saints of God, the forgiveness, strength and supply that they do not deserve,...but so desperately need. On the other hand, those who seek to exalt and help and please themselves should realize that they are literally anti-God! They are choosing sides, and the battle will be; them against God.

Those who lower themselves to serve others, will find that God Himself,...is serving them!
