For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

“Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”

But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ ”

Lord God my Father,

Open my eyes so I may know your way and give me the wisdom and courage to follow you without compromise.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
