TEACH ME, O LORD

Psalms 25:4-5
Your ways, O LORD, make known to me; teach me your paths, Guide me in your truth and teach me…
-------------------------------------------

Life is a continuous learning process. Our parents are our first teachers… then comes our teachers.

We learn so we would grow in life. There are some painful experiences, but we know that these should make us stronger and better.

Lord Jesus has taught and loved us through examples and parables. All we need is to accept His teachings and practice them in our lives. And, as god’s creation, we must humbly ask Him to guide us and teach us.

To be humble means to depend on God, on His grace, to keep ourselves under His guidance, like Jesus, without leaning on ourselves but uniquely on His all-powerful and merciful might.

And through the power of the Holy Spirit, we must learn to be less proud, less greedy, less envious, less anger, less lust… to clean out our soul, in order to fill us with Jesus, with his humility, love, joy and peace.

The Lord Jesus Christ was no religious hypocrite.

He always practiced what He preached and preached what He practiced. He was totally consistent in all of His ways. No legitimate fault could ever be found in Him.

May we, His servants today, become more and more like Him!

Let us pray +

Almighty Father, may we forever embodies humility – make the esteem effort to listen, accept others - no matter what their race, their religion, their education – or lack of it, or their station in life. And we can only show this through service, with great love, to others. May You see the humbleness in our hearts from this day forward. Amen +

Teach me your ways, O Lord.
