I always say to be humble but firm. Humility and openness are the keys to success without compromising your beliefs." -George Hickenlooper

The meaning of humility is freedom from pride or arrogance: the quality or state of being humble.

We located 47 verses that speak to this word (humility). 

The journey of discovering this word can be a humbling experience.

These words were written on the web and they were heartfelt so I wanted to share them here.

“ Humility is a grace that attracts more grace. Pride closes the door to spiritual growth, but humility opens the door of your life to more of God's grace.”

And who among us can not use more of God’s amazing grace??? 

As we travel on the journey of life, it seems that there are more “self” people in our world than ever before!! So how can we shift the tides to a better loving world?? 

The example of how has been given to us many years ago… But it seems life got in our way and we changed our focus, and our minds felt it was superior and could conquer the world.. Egos became inflated with self-righteousness…  Turning out power-hungry thirsty souls.. Souls that have become disillusioned, exhausted, and are discovering the hardship of never being satisfied…  

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28 -30

It’s time!!! To regain our focus. It's time to let go of ego.. it’s time to fall on our knees. it’s time to humble ourselves and go to the gift given to us so long ago. It's time to put “self” aside and learn from the master. It's time to beautify our world even if it’s just one heart at a time. 

I don’t believe it’s too late. He is gathering hearts. He has a bigger plan. He is offering a perfect world to those who realize, what our souls have been chasing has been right in front of our eyes. 

It's Him! It's always been Him.

My beautiful Elohim. I am humbled by His presence! 

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Colossians 3:12

Meaning of struggle: A struggle is a war, fight, conflict, or contest of any kind. 

As I struggle to know how should we study this word many thoughts came to my mind. 

I see so many people who are struggling with larger-than-life struggles. Then there are those that are so full of self that they struggle with such superficial things? Like what to wear to their next social event... Some struggle with how many likes they get on their social media post? I struggle with why? Why is that so important?  Have we missed the importance of life itself? 

Why does God love us so much? Why does He never give up? Why would He go through such pain for people that have become lost or have become too numb care? 

How do we explain this behavior to our children? After all, they look to us for guidance. We are their role models. 

How do we come to grips and free our hearts? How can we be the change... it is a struggle when our world seems so out of control??? 

Many of us watch the news and struggle with what to believe? 

I can only share my thoughts because I too struggle... However, when I have doubt I return to my higher power. He is not of this world!  He reigns supreme... He holds the keys to a beautiful peaceful existence beyond the craziness of our world. 

So, my struggle shifts to why? Why do so many turn away from God? Why did it take me so long to realize the true reason we exist? Why did I not know Him before now? If God has a plan why did He make life to be such a struggle? 

With time I have learned that He did not make life a struggle... He made life to love! And to be loved.  He came to earth with a purpose ... To teach us about life and how to love. 

Our Heavenly Father wants the best for His children... We are the ones that fell short... The human race let Him down. But the good news is He has never stopped loving each one of us. 

It’s our fault, We have been our own worst enemy. 

We have learned to live in the now! We have become singularly focused... Greed, power, and self have scared many hearts... We have detached ourselves from the true meaning of life and this isolation has kept us from loving without boundaries... Many have behaved selfishly.

Thoughts of many hoarding supplies danced in my head... 

How do we regain the gift of love? How do we turn to Him for guidance? How do we shift our focus from living in the now to seeking a beautiful future for eternity? I say... take whatever measures that are available to you to find Him... Pick up a Bible, Find a church, or simply get on your knees and ask Him to show you the way... 

He has never stopped loving you! You do not have to handle life’s struggle alone... He is our Creator, Our mentor, Our peace amidst any storm... Every question, every struggle... He is the only answer!!! 

It’s Him, It’s always Him... 

And yes, He had me at Hello.. 😍❤🔥

Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 1John 4:4 

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

“It is safe to tell the pure in heart that they shall see God, for only the pure in heart want to.” C.S. Lewis 

Meaning of division is a disagreement between two or more groups, typically producing tension or hostility.

"a growing sense of division. 

We located 44 verses about this ugly word ”division” 

When I look around in our troubled world there is more division than love!! 

How did things become so unbalanced... This discord seems to roll downhill. So many diverse opinions? beliefs, lifestyles? Not to mention politics, ethnic groups, and, religious beliefs??? 

How did we get so lost?? Where did the compassion and love go?. When did we become so preoccupied that our values eroded like sifting sand??? 

I have to ask...  What will Heaven be like?? Is this life a test?  If we can't get it right here? Will we even be invited?? 

We must work towards understanding, and acceptance of our differences. We need to build bridges instead of divisions... 

If we study the Man many claims to love perhaps we can learn how to love like Him before it's too late??? 

I pray that if you read this to the end, He softens your heart and that you feel a calling to make a difference in our world...  Shine His light so bright that the division will no longer be seen... Or even felt!!

I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine you have been taught; avoid them. Romans 16:17
