A “foot-washin” attitude
Yesterday in church my dad said something that really stuck with me…and I thought I would share it with everyone. He was talking about “foot-washing” like Jesus did to the disciples. And how that should be our attitude with others when we feel that they’re wrong about something. If you try to show someone where they’re wrong by standing over them acting all superior then it probably won’t be received right…dontcha think? U have to be able to humble yourself…”wash their feet”…
It definitely means something to me because I can always see everyone else’s problems so clearly….and it drives me CRAZY!! But who am I??? Seriously…I’m just as bad off as them…probably worse. The best thing for me to do is pray for them…and pray for ME! I definitely need it! If God wants me to speak into their life about something…He’ll let me know and if and when that happens I want to have a humble attitude…I want to have a “foot-washin” attitude! And if He wants them to speak into my life…I have to be receiving! I want to be a servant…a tool that God uses for His purpose and plan. Wow…so easy to say but so hard to do!
Good thoughts Heidi, i agree it’s much harder to practice it!
What a good word picture of the attitude we should have!
