Good morning, Lord

50 Commandments of Jesus

29. Despise Not Little Ones—Matthew 18:10

 “See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.

Good morning, Lord, as John said, "You must become greater, we must become less," (John 3:30), the path downward is more difficult when we are so full of ourselves as to see ourselves better than anyone. Please forgive us for our pride and vanity, please help us never to think more of ourselves than we should, and never impede anyone in their pursuit of You and Your kingdom and righteousness, we pray in Jesus name, amen.
