How I conduct Myself

For this is our confidence: the testimony of our conscience is that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you, with God-given sincerity and purity, not by fleshly wisdom but by God's grace. 2 Cor 1:12

How good is it to be able to boast such a pure heart. I cannot say that I have never slipped into fleshly behaviour, yet Paul could. I am grateful, he compels me on.

Flesh likes to boast, talk about itself. Spirit lifts others up and honours others as their betters.

Today I was wrapping presents as a fund raiser for Ronald McDonald house, outside Big W (Woolworths) and standing alongside me, keeping up, as an 81 year old woman. I was so impressed! What an honour, what a delight!

I was reminded not to complain about how tired I felt, as we were busy, or how my feet felt. This woman did not complain and she did her job well.

I praise God for His strength, His grace and His gift. I enjoyed going the extra mile for those who would never have been able or who never imagined receiving such a well wrapped present.

Our Lord went the extra mile for us, we can do it as well as He strengthens us. Amen!
