Glamorous Christian And Humble Christian
Live In, Share, The Same House!
When You See Glamorous Christian
Envy Rises In Your Poor Heart
And
You Say:
"Wow! They Living Large!"
When You See Humble Christian
You Say With Native Pride:
"That Poor Soul!
Thank You, God, For Your Blessing On Me!
I Know How To Strive!"
To You, I Say:
Think Again!
"You Talking Real Rubbish!
The Lord Desires All Of His People
To Be Prosperous-Looking, Rich
As Befitting Those Who Are The Recipients Of
His Love And Grace!"
To You, My Misguided Friend, I Say:
Wheel ... And Come Again!
The Lord, Himself, Said:
"It Is Easier For A Camel To Get Through The Eye Of A Needle
Than For A Rich Man To Enter The Kingdom Of Heaven!"
"The Poor Will Be With You Always!"
And
"The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth!"
Beloved,
Self Is A Pride-Filled Sinner!
Proud People Love Display
And
They Find It Hard To Give To Those
Who Cannot The Debt Repay!
Which Glamorous Christian Do You Personally Know That
Has A Heart For God
And
Is Willing To Dirty Clothing, Head, Hands, And Feet
To Condescend ... As Our Lord Christ Did
To Wash Another's Stinky Feet!?!
Service For The Lord Does Not Consist Of Pontificating
Sermonizing, Voguing, Closet Organizing
Philosophizing
Or Jewelry, Dress, Shoe, And Big Hat Sizing!
By Contrast, I Present To You Humble Christian
A Sinner Known Confessing
Repentant
Seeing His Need For His Savior Dear
And
Determinedly Striving For The Lord's Glory
And
Petitioning His Maker To Help Him To Get There!
He Prays!
He Pleads!
He Helps Others!
He Plants Good Seed
He Walks And He Talks With All And Sundry
And
He Has No Problem Doing Another Person's Foul Laundry!
He Visits The Sick, The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
And
He Has No Fear Of "What If!?!"
Because
He Serves His Dear Lord Willingly, Patiently, Gladly!
Glad Rags Are One Thing
But
Glamorous And Glitzy Belong In The Trade Mags
And
All Who Want To See The Lord ... In Peace
Must Their Hold On This Dying World Decidedly Release!
Humility Is A Virtue:
Pride Is Not!
Look At Old Satan And See For Yourself That
A Resident Of Holy Heaven He Most Assuredly Is Not!
Please Do Not Get Me Wrong
For There Are Those Who Carry Humility Too Far
Which Then Becomes A Thing Of Pride:
These Also Shall Not In Heaven Abide!
Please Emulate The Master
And
Be Grateful For What You've Got!
Do Not Expend Your Blessings On Excess
But
On Being Faithful, Obedient, And Enduring
So That You Shall Surely Become A Spiritual Success!
Boast About Jesus Christ The Lord!
Peace!
