Philippians 4:13 (NIV)
13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
Jesus had a humble heart. If He abides in us, pride will
never dominate our lives. Jesus had a loving heart. If He dwells within us,
hatred and bitterness will never rule us. Jesus had a forgiving and understanding
heart. If He lives within us, mercy will temper our relationships with our
fellowmen. Jesus had an unselfish heart. If He lives in us, selfishness will
not predominate, but service to God and others will come before our selfish
interests. You say, “That’s a big order!” I admit that. It would be impossible
if you had to measure up to Him in your own strength and with your natural
heart. Paul recognized that he could never attain this heart purity by his own
striving.
Thought for today: Do
I consistently go to God for guidance?
