Rising to limitless heights with humility

Rising to limitless heights with humility

For it is as when a man, going into another country, called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his several ability; and he went on his journey. Matthew 25:14,15

Many of us like to boast about what we have and what we have gained in life. Its good that you have been successful and done good for yourself and your family and has also shared some with others. Sometimes we tend to end up beyond the limits which itself is bad. We don't have control over ourself and our thoughts and end up boasting about what we have done, what we have earned and who we are. In this we forget that we end up hurting many people showing that they have not done what you have been able to achieve. Its not doubt that you have disciplined yourself, you were focused and you were determined to achieve what your dreams were what you wanted to achieve in life, but never forget that you wouldn't have been able to achieve it unless God had blessed you. Bible says, "To will (to have a will to do something) and to do (strength, knowledge, skill and ability) something is given by God." Now if all these things are from God, then what is of you, only the residue, that is you without anything.

Am not saying this to put you down or to say that it is not good. But I want you to open your eyes and realize the truth which will make you humble and help you to rise up to new heights. The bible says that God resists the proud and exalts the humble. God also says that those who exalt themselves will be humbled and those who humble themselves will be exalted. I want this truth to come to everyone who reads this because this truth will help you to be exalted. In your success its not that you have not done anything, but never boast about it, because if God wouldn't have enabled you or wouldn't have helped you, or wouldn't have opened miraculous doors then you wouldn't have got that success. Many times, God brings divine connections, which we might not be aware about, but in the background He works and we think it was our talent our influence and our relations that has got these things. We look at things like Pharoah analyzing things with our natural brains and with things that are seen, but we forget the things that our not seen and things which we don't understand yet, it has favoured us only because of God. Next time before you boast about yourself, think that God has blessed you. This will keep you humble and help you to encourage others. The knowledge that all these things God has given me will help you to be a blessing to others. People will like to quote you as an example to learn from. The talents and gifts and strengths and divine connections, and miracle breakthroughs are from God. Great doors opening are from God, it was only that God placed us at the right time and at the right place to receive it. As you meditate on this truth I pray may this truth help you to rise up to new heights. God bless you.
