A Prayer 9 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 2: to have the Humble Heart of Jesus written and read 10 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 2: by Kerrie Yaigberger. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or 11 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 2: vain conceit. Rather in humility, value others above yourselves, not 12 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 2: looking to your own interest, but each of you to 13 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 2: interest of others in your relationships with one another. Have 14 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 2: the same mindset as Christ Jesus Philippians two, verses three 15 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 2: through five. 16 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: There's no pretty way to put this. 17 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,960 Speaker 2: I had a sin struggle that I wasn't aware of 18 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 2: for the longest time, and no surprise, because it's a 19 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 2: sneaky one pride. In hindsight, I see that for years 20 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 2: I subconsciously believed I deserved certain opportunities, recognition, appreciation, or 21 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 2: favor for something I had accomplished, learned, or excelled in 22 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 2: or based on someone I had worked hard to be. 23 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 2: It seems I was thinking a little too much of myself, 24 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 2: though I've known that humility is the god honoring and 25 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 2: trait I ought always to aim for. And not only 26 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: was I not fully harnessing that quality, but the weeds 27 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 2: of pride in my heart were also blocking my ability 28 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 2: to be truly humble, as Jesus was and urges us 29 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 2: to be, and I didn't even know it. Is there 30 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 2: an area of your life where pride might be present, 31 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 2: or you feel like you deserve something, maybe a shift 32 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 2: in circumstances, more comfort or convenience, less struggle and suffering, 33 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 2: more fear or favorable treatment. Let me also ask this, 34 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 2: can you identify with who or what situation you need 35 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 2: a touch of humility personally? Sometimes still, even if I 36 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:59,519 Speaker 2: know I don't deserve more favor, acceptance, and appreciation, why 37 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 2: desire for a more esteemed and established placement is more 38 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 2: prominent and present than it should be, Which is also 39 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 2: prideful and definitely not very humble. Being humble is a 40 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 2: heart posture that says, this isn't about me what I'm 41 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 2: experiencing or not experiencing. 42 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: Is it about me? 43 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 2: What someone else has that I don't is not about me. 44 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 2: What I'm doing today, the good that comes, the struggle 45 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: that may surface, the children I have, the money I make, 46 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 2: the house, my work, my gifts and talents, this life 47 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: that I live, It's not just about me. Romans eleven 48 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 2: thirty six says from him and through him and for 49 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 2: him are all things. To him be the glory forever amen. 50 00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 2: For God are all things, not some things, but all things. 51 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,119 Speaker 2: Everything you possess, everything you do, everything He has allowed 52 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 2: you to be, is about him. For him, his glory, 53 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 2: not ours. Just like Jesus, who is our perfect model 54 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 2: of humility, who possessed no pride. Jesus lived his life 55 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 2: to glorify the Father, humbly giving up his comfort, humbly 56 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: putting everyone in his path plus their needs and desires 57 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:38,239 Speaker 2: above his own, and humbly carrying his cross to his death, 58 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 2: suffering for you and me to give glory to God. 59 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 2: To point others to the Father. Paul reminds us in 60 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 2: Philippians two verse three through five to do nothing out 61 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 2: of selfish ambition or being conceived. Rather and humility, value 62 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 2: others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests, but 63 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 2: each of you to the interests of others, and your 64 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 2: relationships with one another. Have the same mindset as Christ Jesus. 65 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: How is your heart posture? 66 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 2: Is their pride hiding within you that whispers I deserve 67 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 2: something more, to have more, to be more, or to 68 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 2: live a more comfortable. 69 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: On Easter life? Or is your life. 70 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 2: Beginning to reflect more and more the humble heart of Jesus, 71 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 2: A life that shows the sacrificial love of Christ, a 72 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 2: humble heart of service before self, that displays to the 73 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 2: world that He is at the center of what you 74 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 2: do and all you are. May it be our mission 75 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 2: to let our lives humbly reflect honor and glorify Jesus, 76 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 2: pointing people around us to Him, bringing our loved ones 77 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 2: in all those the Lord places in our past, to 78 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 2: our King and Savior, and maybe hold hope in the 79 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 2: truth that, along with all of our brothers and sisters 80 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 2: in Christ, someday you will be seated next to Him 81 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 2: in heaven and share in his glory. Let's pray, Lord Jesus, 82 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 2: I long to have your pure. 83 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: And humble heart. 84 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 2: But the truth is pride so easily sneaks into my 85 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 2: thoughts as the world whispers that I deserve a more comfortable, 86 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 2: convenient life. At times I start to believe I deserve 87 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 2: superior status or treatment. But Lord, more than all of this, 88 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 2: I desire the humility you model. I know this is 89 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 2: your perfect way and plan. And it is in my 90 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 2: humility placing others before myself and lowering my desires, that 91 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 2: I honor. 92 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: You and reflect you. 93 00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,799 Speaker 2: You have freely given me your unconditional, non stop love 94 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 2: and my salvation. And while Lord is enough, I praise 95 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 2: you that someday I will be seated next to you 96 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 2: and share in your glory, how wonderful you are in 97 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 2: your precious name.
