That’s right, Lisa. “search my heart, oh Lord,” should be a frequent prayer in the lives of those who serve Him!

Blessings, sister!

Amen, Jennifer. I know several people like that too… they inspire me to always keep my heart in check!

Thanks for participating! Blessings,

I believe we all have at some point in time, even while serving God.”

And yes, all the more reason to stay in touch with the voice of God!

There are specifically two men & women that have stood out in my Christian life throughout the 38 years of being born anew, they stood out to me because of their genuine humility. These people were humble & each had suffered great loss but continued to serve their Lord with great humility.

Thank you, Michele! Yes… I love that prayer in Psalm 139: “Search me, God, and know my heart…” He must be the centerpiece of everything we do for Him. It seems so basic, but our hearts can easily get on the way, that’s for sure!

Blessings to you!

It’s so dangerous to put ourselves on that pedestal.

The glory does belong to Him alone. I’ve been in ministry for years as a pastor’s wife, mentoring women, and speaking. But when the Lord called me to write, I wanted to stay accountable to the purpose of the calling. So I asked my husband and several close friends to let me know if I get off track, if my heart needs to be reined back in. Then the Lord spoke a word to me Himself. “Karen, if you can’t lay down your own glory, I’ll never get mine…in you.” Thanks for such a needed post. Blessings!
