It is not easy to balance the >two truths: "I must not be prideful, but I must understand >just how much God values me." Satan can use our self- >denigration, the worthless worm syndrome, to discourage us and >keep us from using our gifts for Kingdom work. On the other >hand, pride takes God out of the picture and attributes our >contribution to God's Kingdom to us and not to God. > > > >MY PRAYER... > Holy Father, as your child, redeemed at the cost of Jesus' >life, I know I am loved and valuable to you. I know you have >given me abilities and gifts to use for your glory and to bless >your church. But Father, I do not want to ever think that my >abilities are somehow mine alone. I know you have given me the >gifts, abilities, and experiences that have shaped me, so >please empower me to your glory. But Father, I never want the >glory that is achieved from your gifts to puff me up or turn >from me the realization that I am what I am, I have what I >have, and I do what I do, because of your grace and your >generous gifts. May I ever be your humble but valuable child >at work in your Kingdom. Through Jesus I pray. Amen. > >----------- > >Heartlight Daily devotional and prayer are written >by Phil Ware of HEARTLIGHT Magazine, on the web at: >http://link.crosswalk.com/UM/T.asp?A1.21.12788.1.1286813 >----------- >HEARTLIGHT is a non-profit organization and needs >your help!
