Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
Even Jesus didn’t consider himself equal with Father God when he came to earth as a human. He could of been born to the highest king in all the world, He could of come as an adult.
But instead He choose to come as a baby, to a young girl and her fiance with no notary or status.
He choose to start with humble beginnings.
He never demanded to be worshipped, glorified, honored or respected.
He simple came to serve us in love, to do what we couldn’t, to live a sinless life and then die falsely accused the death of a murder.
All to give us the opportunity to have right relationship with Father God. To not have to earn anything, simple to let Him live through us and He gave us the Holy Spirit to guide us. Jesus did the hard part.
We need to stop striving and start surrendering, to let Him work through us, not us work for Him.
