Be Humble and Rise With God!

We must have total trust in the Lord!

Jesus reminds us that humility is central in our relationship with the Creator. Our Gospel Portion today comes from St. Luke 18:9-14, and let us meditate on it.

“I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Luke 18:14

In this story, Jesus compares two individuals. One is a Pharisee, and the other is a public sinner, a tax collector. The public sinner is justified, whereas the Pharisee was not. The difference between the two is humility and a lack thereof.

The Tax Collector knew his only hope was in the great mercy of Father God. He begged for God’s mercy. If we read the whole Portion, we would see that the Pharisee was not communicating with the Creator; instead, he was praising himself. There is no healing possible for this Pharisee; he made himself God and told God how good he is.

We have a choice to make. I hope that we follow the public sinner and receive God’s mercy and return to our lives as justified, in other words, right with God.

I have found that true humility has allowed me to undergo terrible things. True humility enables us to entrust whatever we are going through, even the most horrendous situations, to God and experience victory in Christ Jesus.

Please choose humility! It always matters to live the best life.

Being Humble Always Matters!

Through humility, we can be raised!

Love and humility are intertwined. We cannot separate the two. We find this in the life of Jesus, who chose to join humanity even though He remained Divine.

Today our Gospel Portion is St. Luke 14:1-14, and we will meditate on,

“For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

St. Luke 14:11

Jesus is the example that all of His followers must follow. He provides the means to bring Heaven to earth, and He showed this in His 33 years of life with us.

St. John the Apostle told us that God is love (1 John 4-8), and we see that lived out in Jesus’ life. Now our challenge is to live love out in our lives. When we encounter every individual, we are to be that love.

It is normal to love those who love you back; however, what is most difficult is to love those who openly hate you! This is so hard to do, but we are called to do this supernatural love.

Genuine humility is required to love like Jesus!

Remember, God allowed those who hated Him to execute Him, and He forgave them and the whole world! To receive that forgiveness, we must humble our pride and love those who aim to harm us.

When we become like Jesus, we allow Him to exalt us in the present moment!

Be humble like Jesus and be exalted by Him! Live in Heaven on Earth!

Humility Matters!

Let Humility Reign!

“…(F)or everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Luke 18:14

Jesus tells us clearly what He wants from us. Jesus tells us to be more like Himself!

We can accomplish many things in the days of our lives, and these things can create in ourselves a false pride. A false pride is that we did these accomplishments by ourselves and for ourselves. This is a lie!

Everything we accomplished comes out of what God had given us!

All the World is a gift!

All we are belongs to the Creator!

Let us meditate on Divine Humility. God enters the world born in a cave/ stable, so that we could be saved and find true peace.

True peace is not found in things in this world, but rather found in total surrender to the Creator!

Let everything we have and everything we do come out of our total surrender to the Creator. May we be reflections of the Divine Humility!

Pax.
