John 5:18 He who speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.
It is my hope that I will not work for myself but for Christ. This goal requires that everything that I say or do represents Christ perfectly. I've got a long way to go.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, instead of seeking honor for myself, I pray that you will empower me to humble myself before you and seek only to honor you and to honor you only. I pray that I will be an ambassador for Christ as Christ was an ambassador for you. Lord, please make me a man of integrity, a man of truth, a man without anything false. I desire to have your character - perfect truth. Please destroy my selfish flesh as you raise up Jesus Christ (who is Truth itself) through my spirit. It is in his name that I pray. Amen.
That's a good scripture to go with yesterday's post too.
