Self righteousness competes, compares,and puts others down
God’s righteousness is humility that lowers oneself with selflessness, and takes personal repentance seriously.

Important reminder…..

False accusations can tarnish even the purest souls. Truth always prevails over false accusations. Accusations without evidence are nothing but empty words. False accusations are the weapons of the weak and insecure. A false accusation can destroy years of trust and friendship in a single moment.

Ephesians 4:29-31
King James Version
29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

And sometimes that translates into thinking the parents don’t love them either.....

One of the biggest culprits of projection is assumption - Believing that people think, feel, & believe like you when they deal with certain events that are relatable to your negative past events and you try to assert your way of doing things on them

We all come to this life with a unique assignment, crafted delicately by God. He has woven our experiences, talents, and dreams into a special design that honors Him and serves others. Understanding this allows us to embrace our individuality and recognize that each of us has a vital role to play in God’s purpose for humanity. Every one of us is gifted uniquely, and these gifts are not mere accidents; they are pivotal to God’s grand plan, guiding us to act in ways that reveal His love and truth.

Letting go doesn’t mean you’re passive or that you are not concerned or caring….

It means you’re taking a different direction.

A better direction.

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” – Isaiah 43:18-19

Even Jesus came as a baby and took baby steps in His walk here on earth, He was humbled by the flesh growth development….. He was born in a manger and not a palace.
He didn’t byoass nature or culture at that time
He learned to follow before He lead. As a King He came to serve.

The wise men worshipped Him as the Newborn King - not because they saw potential, but because they believed prophecy in who He is.

They didnt just have a “ hope so “ when looking at that baby, they had a “ know so”
Wise men (and women) still worship Him today
Some saw a baby, and those who believed saw a King.
