World of "I".......................
Luke 14:11 "For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted"
I did...because of my ability....
these are some of the phrases we used use and hear from others......
"I" stands first....
"I" excludes others....
"I" is the master and others are slaves.....
"I" can..and others could not....superior inferior perception.....
GOD IS OUT in the world of "I".......
"I" am the King in the world of "I"........
"I" decides..."I" execute.......
"I" don't care....
"I" creates a world where "I" alone is perfect.......
"I" never listens others...
"I" fears "OTHERS".......
"I" could not see the possibilities and talents of others....
"I" comes from our insecurity.....
"I" comes from pride...
"I" oppress others...their opinions and identity.....
"I" never allows others to grow.......
"I" comes from a closed mind, it comes from a corrupted and colonial framework.......
"I" dominates......
Christ taught us to pray...."Our Father..."
He never exalted himself....
Even people tried to make him as a King ..he went away.....
Don't think "I" am the KING
Let GOD BE THE RULER OF OUR PERCEPTION, LANGUAGE, WORLDVIEW......
Exalting ourselves is the starting point of our destruction and alienation.....
Accept that we could not do anything without the help of others.....
We are interconnected.....World Wide Web of Relationships...
Ultimately......we are nothing in front of our God...
Because of God's grace and mercy....we live today....
Humble ourselves.......
Let GOD rules us not "I"......
Amen
