We WON!!! and a little wisdom

watchin the match Germany vs. England at church yesterday was quite intense. and a lot of fun.. with each new goal the cheers seemed to get wilder and even more excited... they (and we) were on fire! :) 4:1 or 4:2 as it should have been! Nice goin!!



right now i'm goin thru my 'SOMD' notes and i stumbled across this little piece of wisdom and kinda felt like sharing it with you.
It was during Glenn Sheppard week, he had been talkin about Pride and how one definition of pride is to think more of you than God thinks of you... later on after the teaching we got a study hall assignment of writing down what God had shown us thru Glenn's teaching.
Doing this sorta triggered an old question for me - what if you think less of you than God thinks of you? Isn't that also putting your opinion of yourself above Gods opinion of you?
I remember hearing someone explain this once and it really convicted me. How many times do I say "No, God, I'm not that good or worth that much"... so basically I am saying I am right and He (God) is wrong, which is false humility also know as pride!
It broke me, because it made me realize how mcuh hurt I cause Jesus, just by not accepting who He made me to be. When all i want to do is to bless Him, glorify Him, bring joy to His heart...

anyway, i hope this encourages you to see you for who God made you to be! He loves you and me more than we will ever know or be able to understand..
