Jesus, light of the world, thank you that your glory has risen among us. You brought us out of the darkness and made us children of the light. Let your light shine through us.

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name; your Kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.

LIVING HUMBLY
MALACHI 2:10 (CEB)
Isn’t there one father for all of us,
one God who created us?
Why does everyone cheat each other..?
PHILIPPIANS 2:3 (MSG)
Don’t push your way to the front; don’t sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don’t be obsessed with getting your own advantage.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Put others first.
PRAYER
Jesus, you set aside your power and stature to come reside as God-among-us. You've shown us how to live humbly and justly. And you've even given your life so that as we trust you we experience your resurrection alongside you. You've done so much. Yet, I still struggle to throttle my ego. My desire to be right and in control of the situation continues unabated. Intervene and shape my life so that your humble approach becomes my approach. That's what I want to see happen in my life. Amen.
