“No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.” - John 13:8
Unless we submit to jesus, recognising that we’re just as broken as the next person, we will never learn humility.
While I personally accept this as fact, I don’t do anything about it as I fear my pride getting hurt again. But holding grudges or remaining protective doesn’t produce any sort of benefit in God’s kingdom. He values restored relationships, so he expect us to live in continual reconciliation with each other. Tbh most if not all of us are heaps ceebs when it comes to this as it is a scary journey to be disappointed by people over and over again, but we should be looking at God’s approval and not our own.

Why did you go to the Gospel of John? any specific reason?
ReplyDeleteI finished the missionary writings of the Apostles (Acts - Revelations) just recently. So I'm just submitting my Bible plan devotionals from YouVersion.
