Humble Is The Way <3
A Parable Jesus Used: Luke 18:9-14 - There were some people who thought they were very good and

looked down on everyone else. Jesus used this story to teach them: “One time there was a Pharisee and
a tax collector. One day they both went to the Temple to pray. The Pharisee stood alone, away from the
tax collector. When the Pharisee prayed, he said, ‘O God, I thank you that I am not as bad as other

people. I am not like men who steal, cheat, or commit adultery. I thank you that I am better than this

tax collector. I fast twice a week, and I give a tenth of everything I get!’ “The tax collector stood alone
too. But when he prayed, he would not even look up to heaven. He felt very humble before God. He

said, ‘O God, have mercy on me. I am a sinner!’ I tell you, when this man finished his prayer and went
home, he was right with God. But the Pharisee, who felt that he was better than others, was not right
with God. People who make themselves important will be made humble. But those who make
themselves humble will be made important.”
Jesus came to save a hurting world.
Our place is to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and pray for healing.
It takes God to change our hearts and do the actual healing.
If we get in a place believing that we are better than others because
WE SEE WHEN OTHERS DO WRONG,
we are not in the right standing with GOD.
Remember ALL HAVE FALLEN SHORT OF GOD'S GLORY.
We all have sinned and there is no measuring stick for each sin.
Sin is sin! Wrong is wrong!
So if God was patient with us, why can't we be patient with each others
and allow God to work in each person's life in HIS timing.
We must stay HUMBLE.
Always pray the WILL OF GOD in someone's life, rather than
what we think should happen.
Walk in LOVE and not in judgment~
