less of me, More of JESUS

Normally, a person would think about things that are beneficial to him and we often forget about God. We sometimes forget that all of the things that are happening into our lives is because of our creator. This blog is intended for all who wants to be more like Christ. To think more about him and less about himself. Come and join me as we walk together with Jesus to this journey called life.

I will do all I can to update this blog from time to time. This will contain my own articles, videos, music, articles written by different authors, inspirational story and a lot more. Anything about Jesus.

This is not all about me, this is all about Him.

The Jars



The preacher placed two identical jars on the table next to the pulpit. He quoted 1 Samuel 16:7: "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but, the Lord looks at the heart"

"These jars came from the same factory, were made of the same materials, and, can hold the same amount. But, they are different, he explained". Then he upset one, and, it oozed out honey. He turned over the other, and, vinegar spilled out. "When a jar is upset, whatever is in it comes out".



"Until the jars were upset, they looked alike. The difference was within, and, could not be seen. When they were upset, their contents were revealed".

"Until we are upset we put on a good front. But, when we are upset, we reveal our innermost thoughts, and, attitudes, for, out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks" (Luke 6:45).

What if someone tipped you over today? What would flow out?

Would you reveal the "honey" of grace, and, patience, or the "vinegar" of anger and sarcasm?

"Above all, love each other deeply, because, love covers over a multitude of sins" (1Peter 4:8).

Have a terrific day knowing that the one who upsets you may be just looking for some honey.
