EXHORTATIONS FROM THE FATHER

["Reflections" Of The Father's Heart]

[february 18th 2010]


+ Pride desires to be right in its "own" thinking - at all cost to those around them. Whereas, true humility [an absolute dependence upon Me] and love for Me desires to be found in the center of My Will [the narrow path] - at all cost to themselves.

...."the humble will inherit the land and will delight themselves in abundant prosperity".... Psalms 37:11 NASB

...."A man's pride will bring him low, but a humble spirit will obtain honor".... Proverbs 29:23 NASB

...."Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it. But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it. [Deut. 30:19; Jer. 21:8]".... Matthew 7:13-14 The Amplified Translation

...."Who shall dwell [permanently] on Your holy hill? He who walks and lives uprightly and blamelessly, who works rightness and justice and speaks and thinks the truth in his heart, He who does not slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor; In whose eyes a vile person is despised, but he who honors those who fear the Lord (who revere and worship Him); who swears to his own hurt and does not change; [He who] does not put out his money for interest [to one of his own people] and who will not take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved. [Exod. 22:25, 26]".... Psalms 15:1-5 The Amplified Translation
