Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Philippians 2:5
If you think your own way, you’re going to miss it.
If you seek to learn God’s ways, you will find the truth.
He is ever trying to teach us His ways, who He is, how He thinks.
Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart:
and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matthew 11:29
Jesus said, Learn of Me.
We can’t make Jesus be who we think He should be or who we want Him to be.
He is who He is.
He is meek and lowly of heart, very tender-hearted.
God is love.
Jesus loves those you may wish to hate.
God sees the bigger picture.
Our views are cloudy and limited. His are not.
Jesus saw the heart of the jailer,
who beat Paul and Silas while they were in prison.
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God:
and the prisoners heard them.
And suddenly there was a great earthquake,
so that the foundations of the prison were shaken:
and immediately all the doors were opened,
and every one’s bands were loosed. Acts 16:25-26
And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Acts 16:30-31
There is no way Paul and Silas could have known that.
They were in tune with the Holy Spirit. We can be, too.
That does not mean all of our enemies will turn to the Lord,
keeping our hearts in Jesus’ love and not letting our love grow cold.
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing
that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God,
and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
2 Corinthians 10:5
