I : my character, my choice (part 3)

Lets discuss letter "L"

Lowly
This term has been defined to mean different things. "Low in status or importance; humble; modest; low; unassuming; meek. Not forgetting the key word of this topic which is "SALT". This substance clearly depicts what lowliness is all about.

Let me ask some soul stirring questions, if your answers is more of yes, then check and check again. I would want you to put your name in the place where SALT is mentioned.
Does the Salt remain at the top of soup when prepared? Does Salt jump out of the soup simply because its hot? Does Salt tell all the other ingredient in the soup that without it, their taste wouldn't come out? Just as the Salt wouldn't do any of the above mentioned, so also a character that is beautiful.

You may be the reason your friend got that Job, or that promotion or even that Spouse. Let me put this to you, be thankful to God that he used you because without you he/she would still have gotten the job, promotion or even the Spouse. Have u taken note that its the Salt that does the underground work of making other ingredients noticed in the soup? A beautiful YOU would be concerned about beautifying others, other than been everywhere broadcasting yourself.

A character that is Lowly sometimes goes unnoticed but in the long run gets rewarded. Take a very good look at Moses, there is something about this man that keeps me wondering. The bible recorded it that he was meekest man that ever lived and God was not afraid to show himself to him. Hmmm, a great food for thought. "A meek or lowly man is pure and it is him that will see God."

There is so much to say about a man who is Lowly, but words cannot express the in-depth truth that lies in this five-lettered word.

Lord Jesus, there is this fleshly nature of mine that always wanna pop his head high, I bring my heart, spirit and soul under your authority asking that you create in me a lowly and humble spirit. Let the nature of Christ override the fleshly nature in me. Cause me to have a record of lowliness and humility before you oh Lord. When it gets to that point when all things go well around me and i become a blessing to others, help me remember that if it were not for you, i wouldn't be here.

Touch me on the inside and make me Beautiful. Amen
