mantras, pt II

today (in this God soaked moment of life) ...
... i will be incompetent.
... i will be fully present to the person in front of me, and to the Lord over me.
... i will be Christ to others.
... i will see Christ in others.
these are the mantras i like best. here is why:

today (in this God soaked moment of life) ...
... i will be incompetent.
i will not rely on what i think i know. i will rely on what God has given me.

today (in this God soaked moment of life) ...
... i will be fully present to the person in front of me, and to the Lord over me.
almost self evident. don't you think? give the person that is talking to you your attention. give them your time.

today (in this God soaked moment of life) ...
... i will be Christ to others.
we need to be Christ to others. now that one is self evident. we are to show the world who Christ is by living as Christ would live here on this earth, because we may be the only Christ they have seen. now i am not saying that i am Christ, but we are to live as He would.

today (in this God soaked moment of life) ...
... i will see Christ in others.
we are to see Christ in others, because we are to treat others the way we want to be treated, and we are to love them the way we want to be loved.

i just wanted to share these with you. this may sound like a re-run (i've posted on these before), but i wanted to share them again.
