The pride of life

Posted on by asherdc89

The world says, you won’t get anywhere by being nice. And you won’t get ahead without making moral compromises.

The world will then try to knock you down over and over again, and keep you down. To lift up the heart in pride to harden the conscience. To be consciously insensitive, without a care for anybody, but self.

To see people only as obstacles to progression and success. And once you start to care about how an obstacle feels, you allow the individual to destroy you.

Therefore, you must either used the individual for selfish intent or do whatever you can to remove them out of your way.

But God says the complete opposite. He removes our hearts of stone to give us a heart of flesh. We are to be conscientiously aware of the needs of others before self. We are to seek fulfillment in the glory of God’s love Instead of the pride of worldly fulfillment, pertaining to self exaltation.To give Him the glory and honour, which is rightfully His alone. And ultimately, serve Him where we care for others as a witness of His love without any moral compromises. For this is the life God calls us to live by. A life of faith in His love.

Since 2010, I've experienced promptings, encouragement as well as assistance from the Holy Spirit. The promptings led me to the word of God. This was the start of my own personal journey as I sought after the truth. God was then calling me as I sought after the truth according to His word. The truth was leading me to the decision to give my life to Him. I gave my life to God on the 28th of January 2012. Instantly, I had the desire to share with others the truth of God, that God is a God of love, truth, righteousness, holiness, mercy and justice. I couldn't keep something like this to myself in a lost and dying world, a world in a fallen state, and a world steeped in confusion concerning the view of who God is. My journey wasn't without struggle though, I realised through suffering we come to know God. To not only be humble, but to be empathic and not detached from people who are suffering. Sometime in 2012, God inspired me to become a writer just after my prayer to fulfill my purpose, the purpose of the reason of my existence. My prayer was a reflection of Isaiah 43:1-7. So I started writing essays pertaining to His word. I shared what I wrote with my family and friends. Therefore, the aspiration to help people globally, came with the realisation to give God the honour and the glory. To be part of making a difference. The inspiration to start blogging was impressed upon me to do. Through prayerful guidence, I believe God has led me to this point, which I believe is for His glory.
