If one walks around with the nose in the air, one is going to end up flat on one`s face. In which case, the nose would then have been brought down, by none other than the very owner of the nose in question. But if one is content to be simply oneself, keeping one’s nose on the level and pointed in the direction of righteousness, one will become more than oneself."
This statement is for me one of the areas that I need to persevere in. Having years of studying the Scriptures and many other Holy Writings, I on many occasions must keep my ego in check. The Pharisees and Scribes of Jesus’ day knew all the answers to the many questions. Yet they arrogantly could not recognize the Son of God, the Messiah standing a mere nose-length in front of them. My prayer is that I always recognize Jesus, in the many faces that appear before my nose on any given day, every day of every week. It’s in these faces, the ones with which I come in contact everyday that I pray to see Jesus. I need to remember that others, like me, are created in the Image and Likeness of God.
Also along with this, Scripture mentions that Angels may be the strangers with whom I converse now and then. And not it's just me; it's you too. It's all of us, walking in God’s garden, side by side with one another every day.
So let’s together remind ourselves that we are to Love others even as Jesus Christ Loves us!!
