I never want to be so full of myself that I refuse to give of myself, my time or my substance. The more selfless we are means the more we decrease and God can increase and get the glory.

MT 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

I don't want to be like the people in Jesus' day who would stop up their ears while he was speaking truths to them.
My prayer is "Lord open my ears to hear you more clearly."

A right relationship with our neighbor merits a right relationship with God.

Matthew 5:23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

Matthew 5:24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

With repentance actions should always speak louder than our words to show that we really have changed for the better.
