Enlightenment for Myself

Matthew 4:4 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

I have spent a greater part of my life wondering how my words, my faith journey, and my positive actions were perceived by others. When I received praise, it was for me in my heart. Like I was providing words of wisdom from my life. Like I hold all of the answers. I know God has blessed me to be a faithful servent and deciple, the problem is, I have been trying to take all the credit for the words and deeds I do on God's behalf. All my thoughts, all my words, and all my deeds should be reflective of how Jesus Christ lived. That when something should happen that God has done through me that warrants a celebration, it is not I who receive the praise by name, but Jesus Christ and God our Father alone.

Dear heavenly Father, You have opened up new doors for me and established relationships that have helped me to look deep within myself. I ask that you continue to walk with me in Spirit, drive my heart to make passion filled bridges, and spread the word and good deeds of You Lord Jesus Christ.

Through thought, word, and deed I will be You Lord God and Your son Jesus Christ. AMEN!
