ROMANS 12:1–13
Jane Yolen, an author of over 400 books for children and adults, said, “The story told is important, not the storyteller.”
The story revolves around Jesus, the Saviour, who sacrificed His life for us, and we, along with other believers, live for Him and share His love with others.
Romans 12:3–21 emphasises the importance of humility and love in our relationships as followers of Jesus. It encourages a sane estimation of one’s capabilities based on God’s faith, warm affection, and a willingness to share credit. Pride in our accomplishments can blind us to others’ gifts and bring arrogance, which can poison the future.
John the Baptist, tasked with paving the way for Jesus, talked of Jesus becoming greater and him becoming less (John 3:30).
That is a good motto for us all.
🙏Lord, we have a lot to learn about humility. Help us to see You for who You are so You and others have their rightful place in our lives.
