--- Quote ---Part of being accounted worthy is being humble - knowing God is Sovereign with the same reverential dependence of a child for their parent.

Amen!
Deborah-Leigh:
I am glad you noticed this too Stacey!
Being humble is NOT as Christendom falsely believes and erroneously teaches.
True humbleness of spirit is KNOWING we do not have freedom of will or choice. If we BELIEVE that free-will is a myth, then we cannot help but be humbled before our All Powerful, All Loving, All Wise God and Father.
Every effort at being humble without believing that there is no such thing as free will, is just lip service and pretense, showmanship, hypocrisy, insincerity, double standards, duplicity, two-facedness, charade, sham, make-believe, deceit, deception, simulation, mock-up and cheap imitation…...Don’t you just love words! :D
We have preferences yes, but no freedom of choice.

I couldn't agree more with you if I tried. Humility from God is the real deal. Not all words but I sure like the way you used all those colorful ones right there. You are right on about the preferences.
Deborah-Leigh:
Thanks Stacey. :)
It is wonderful to have you on board! Being of like-mind is......
.... to do the work of ministry, and to build up the body of Christ
Eph 4:13 until all of us are united in the faith and in the full knowledge of God's Son, and until we attain mature adulthood and the full standard of development in Christ.
Eph 4:14 Then we will no longer be little children, tossed like waves and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people's trickery, or by clever strategies that would lead us astray.
Eph 4:15 Instead, by speaking the truth in love, we will grow up completely into the one who is the head, that is, into Christ,
Eph 4:16 in whom the whole body is united and held together by every ligament with which it is supplied. As each individual part does its job, the body's growth is promoted so that it builds itself up in love.
