Lead

 A Life

 Worthy

 Of The Calling

 

 

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

 

Ephesians 4:1-3

 

So often in life, the words humble and gentle do not seem to belong. Instead, the words pride and harshness mark the way many measure success.

 

You do not have to back down, and you should always keep going. Never give in and never give up.

 

You can play for God’s glory, and you can do it without arrogance.

 

Competition, handled properly, can have its place in our lives. But we should always remember to be humble and gentle in everything we do. We must reflect the characteristics of a Christlike life.

 

 

Be humble

 and you will not stumble.
