Humility: Make Me Like Jesus (2002) - Paul Washer

Just make me like Jesus. I never knew it would hurt so much, not to be made like Jesus, because I'm not made like Jesus yet, but to be in the process. I never knew it would hurt so much. - Paul Washer

A couple weeks ago, I was feeling defeated, like the devil was winning. I thought that because I was suffering I guess. But then it occurred to me that no, the devil wasn't winning. God was answering my prayers to make me grow. And I had been kicking against it, not realizing it. When I realized my prayers were being answered and that God was still winning, I understood - at least a little - of what it means to rejoice in your suffering.

I want to be like Jesus Christ my Lord, Father, friend and saviour.

[倪落英]

More and more, I want to be like Jesus. Wow, I struggle in that, and the Lord knows just how dead and unmotivated and lukewarm my heart is, but more and more, I want to be conformed to His will and be made humble and be stripped of my pride. I know that my place is not on some stage teaching people, for I am so lacking in knowledge regarding the Lord and His ways and His character and plan. If I can serve other people in His name, that’s enough. If they can forget me and remember God, perfect. I am so full of failure though, unless God works in and through me. Please pray for me, for I am struggling. Thank you. May the Lord God be with you all.

“And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.”
Luke 9:23 (NASB)

I was raised as a child preacher before I got to know Jesus for myself. I was exalted by others very quickly. However, now that I am pursuing Christ genuinely I am ashamed of what I said and did after Sabbath was over. But God is the great Redeemer. He has died on the cross and killed our sins with Him! That doesn't just mean we are forgiven. It means we are changed. When we sin, it is no longer a setback. It is now a testimony! If you are struggling with humility or a certain issue right now, it means that God is using you and me as examples of what His grace can do! One day, you'll be talking to someone and they'll ask about your story or why you're so dedicated to doing whatever little service you're doing and you can tell them, not of how you yourself went and fixed your life, but brag about your failures and God's grace! The only thing we as Christians have to brag about is how much of a failure we are! Because that makes God's grace and forgiveness all the sweeter. Brothers and sisters, don't exalt yourself. God is more than capable of doing it at the right time. Just because you're not some big preacher doesn't mean you're a bad Christian. Are you communicating with God? Do you love and serve Him? Are you willing to wait for His timing even if it'll never come? Are you willing to be like Jesus? If not, pray about it. If so, PRAISE GOD! I strongly encourage all of us to not give up just because we don't see the results the world defines as being a good Christian. Humility makes Christians. Grace makes Christians. Love makes Christians. Nothing else. Live for God. There's this excellent quote that says, "Preach all day, every day without stopping. And if necessary, use words."

Having a great ministry that helps lots of people is wonderful. Being like Jesus, that is awesome. For me, personally, neither of these are enough. For me, they're not the prize. Jesus Himself is the prize I want. He has saved me, yes, but I want more. I want daily intimacy with Jesus, connection, I want to interchange with who He is. I want to gaze upon His beauty. I want to experience Him. (There are other things I want: I want the salvation of loved ones, I want to walk in a manner worthy of Him, I want to be healthy, but all these are second. Everything else pales in comparison to the surpassing greatness of Jesus Christ Himself. That's just where I am right now.)

Father GOD put a humble heart in me so that I will be more like JESUS, cover me with your presence.

[yankhokampanje]

This is exactly what I had to hear today.
Thank you Jesus for not leaving me to try and figure things out on my own, instead you hold my hand and tell me what I need to do so that your holy name can be glorified and not my own.
Amen.❤

[notxtreme]

This makes me so joyful to hear this message. Pray that this time that I have now is a time to be made like Christ for any work that he will give me. Whatever work I have that shapes me into the image of Christ I'll be happy.

Thank you lord

[kavenmoura]

You know, I am so full of mistakes its overwhelming. I am the runt of the litter. I say silly and childish things. I behave so poorly at times. Yet, despite my inconsistencies, God has used me and men just like me. May we continue desiring His will, His plan, and His glory. Amen
