Jesus is like a mirror to show us who we are

Morning: Psalm 86; Genesis 28:10-17; John 1:43-51

Evening: Psalm 15, 67; Isaiah 66:1-2, 18-23; 1 Peter 5:1-11

This is St. Bartholomew’s Day; and do we ever need the humility that Jesus saw in him!?  Now, if someone asks, “Who here is humble?” and you raise your hand, you’re probably not!  Humility is a gift that grows when ego needs diminish.  Forces within and without have us caring too much about our own power and privilege.  It is not part of our created nature to lord it over others, but we need help from beyond ourselves if we are to be true to ourselves.  Jesus is a like a mirror, who helps us to see our true humanity
