Grace for your spirit
I wrote something to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not accept what we say. For this reason, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does unjustly accusing us with wicked words; and not satisfied with this, he himself does not receive the brethren either, and he forbids those who desire to do so and puts them out of the church III John 9-10
Christ set the ultimate example for us all in how to find victory. Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and He will lift you up. Jesus did exactly that. Humbled to the point of death, and God exalted Him highly. The secret to finding JOY is in priorities. J.esus 1st, O thers 2nd, Y ourself last. J>O>Y. God wants us to place ourselves last, and He will make us firsts in His time, and His way. Pushing to be first, like Diotrephes, criticizes authority, and eliminates all who don't agree. The church is meant to be inclusive, not exclusive. Let's get out of the way.
