KEEP ME LOW!!!

This is what I asked the Lord. KEEP ME LOW!!!

I had a dream a while ago. I was in my grandmother's house, and people from ALL over the world came to my grandmother's house (a simple house hidden in an unknown corner) to see him. He was in my grandmother'r room, (now my grandmother always let her guests sleep in her room, which just now struck me.)

But Jesus was in that room, but I was in the living room on the couch, and people were sitting in the living room and in the kitchen, and lining up outside also.

Now, I looked at some people walking in, and I had contempt against them.

I said within myself, ''These people ought not to walk into the presence of the Lord standing up, they should be low, and on the ground with their heads in the ground. Because if I were to go before him, I COULD NOT even so much as lift my head to look at his feet!!''

And then, next to me were men that were talking about the whole situation, and laughing at the people lining up to see Jesus, but I got angry at them also, because they were so busy mocking they looked like fools. Silly fools that came just to see the spectacle.

And my grandmother was in the kitchen busy about cooking (She always gets busy when she has guests and cooks a big meal), but she reminded me of the woman who was busy when the other woman sat at his feet!!

Well, my attitude was COMPLETELY WRONG!!!!!

Every time I think about that dream I check my attitude. While I sat there on that couch, I was like those fools and wasn't as humble as I presumed. And I was also busy about my own work too. But people from all over the world must have thought, ''If Jesus is here, I want to go see him.''

Now, there were some who did enter the room on the ground below him. But I sat on the couch looking, and I wasn't in line to see him, I guess I figured he was my guest, so I had all day to see him?

This dream is a rebuke to me.

It is not enough for my physical body to be made low, but my heart. I need to keep pride out of my heart!!! AND LOVE IN!!! Not so quick to assume the condition of others, perhaps they have boldness to enter to Jesus standing up, and if Jesus doesn't judge their hearts, then neither can I. Posture means nothing.

I think this has something to do with the circumcision and uncircumcision issue. We would all do well to consider ourselves unless we get that root of bitterness springing up.

So let the Lord make me low. Let him make me lower than his feet in EVERY WAY!!

May Jesus bless you.

This is beautiful and spiritual.

It is hard, I believe impossible, to know the way Jesus sees each of His own. His thoughts towards us are beyond number, and His mind is infinite.

This is so, even if our discernment is right and we have the spirit of prophesy. God tells us, and we know what we know with undying accuracy ...yet He may not have revealed to us 'where that person really is' and what they have just been through.

I don't like to write long messages, but this is a quiet thread, and you may enjoy something to read.

I learnt slowly, but I think I have learnt now not to presume. One day, when I joined a new employer, I met a man who was happy and popular, and I thought what does this man know of real character. Later I found out he had been paralysed in an accident. Doctors had given up on him, but over a period of years he had laboured to restore himself.
Another day in my work I met a very successful professional football player. Towards the end of the day, I thought I want to reach out to this man with things of eternal meaning. i was able to ask him 'what do you know about death?' He looked straight at me and said "Quite a bit, what would you like to know?" He had just spent two years nursing his wife deteriorating through illness, until she passed away in his arms.

I learnt a lot and went home wiping my eyes.

Anyway, thank you Ramon for your faithful, true, and uplifting threads.
