Being Human Beings
November 25, 2017
All of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble.
1 Peter 3:8
When asked to define his role in a community that was sometimes uncooperative with law enforcement, a sheriff didnt flash his badge or respond with the rank of his office. Rather he offered, We are human beings who work with human beings in crisis.
His humilityhis stated equality with his fellow human beingsreminds me of Peters words when writing to first-century Christians suffering under Roman persecution. Peter directs: All of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble (1 Peter 3:8). Perhaps Peter was saying that the best response to humans in crisis is to be human, to be aware that we are all the same. After all, isnt that what God Himself did when He sent His Sonbecame human in order to help us? (Phil. 2:7).
Gazing only at the core of our fallen hearts, its tempting to disdain our human status. But what if we consider our humanness to be part of our offering in our world? Jesus teaches us how to live fully human, as servants recognizing we are all the same. Human is how God made us, created in His image and redeemed by His unconditional love.
Today were sure to encounter folks in various struggles. Imagine the difference we might make when we respond humblyas fellow humans who work together with other humans in crisis.
Father, help us to be humble as we respond to one another, human being to human being.
Humility is the result of knowing God and knowing yourself.
Have you noticed that when people receive a great honor for their accomplishments they often acknowledge their humble roots? Even legendary athletes admit that they were just an everyday kid from somewherejust like us.
Peter sees how important it is for those who know they are Gods representatives to remember who they were. In recognizing their high honor (1 Peter 2:9), Peter urges followers of Christ to remember that once they had no sense of belonging to God; once they had not received mercy (2:10). Later in the same letter he reminds those who are leaders among the Lords people to recognize their own accountability to God and not to lord it over those entrusted to their care (5:3).
At best we are all common folks from somewhere who have been called to love others as God has loved us.

Hiya radu!
I had a short day, started at Costco at 7:00 and was out of there in an hour, (they hadn't opened yet). Then off to my last stop, Shopko, a local store kind of like a small Walmart. It was packed with customers but I was able to get in and out by 10:30, so I had the rest of the day off. Work again next Wednesday.
But the fun news for me is that I bought my first ever smart phone on-line earlier from Walmart, it was a good buy according to my tech-savvy daughter.
I was over helping Robin put all her Christmas stuff outside and played with the pups for awhile.
Your and the 'lil darlins' day OK?
