Chapter 5 of 1st Peter is a really uplifting chapter. There were so many quotable scriptures in this chapter that basically I just want to reference the whole thing. Peter talks about how I need to humble myself before God so that he can help me become perfect. I need to work on my humility so that I am open to the changes I need to make in order to become better.
It's through God I can become perfect. But how can he teach me if I'm unwilling to listen and change my ways? I need to constantly be humble. And that's easier said than done. There are a lot of times when I think I'm right and that's just how it is, no questions asked. I need to be willing to address my weaknesses, and that's hard to do. It's hard to realize that I'm not very good at something. And I'm not talking about talents such as piano or a sport, I'm talking about how I can not be very good at visiting teaching, or paying attention in church. Things like that. I need to be willing to work on those things and if I have an open heart and mind, the Lord can help me out. And he's the one who knows how to be perfect, so I should remember to always trust him.
