In harmony with Heart, through absolute humility

So yesterday my friend Austin and I took a little trip to Glasgow, Ky. A cute little town nestled on the Cumberland Parkway in the center of Ky. We went there because a mutual friend of ours, Daniel McCarley, was speaking at his church. Now, he had expressed that this was going to be different and that he was really excited about the service. Service started.A seemingly normal service except they handed out white towels, and bags of soap powder, the worship the whole church was singing new songs and afterwards a video was playing while Daniel narrated. Service was about sacrifice, obedience, humility, service, servant hood, submissive, humbleness, being the meek.Simply putting others before you.Service was about John 13, last supper when Jesus washed the feet of His disciples. Talk about being submissive! This is the Son of Man. Jesus Christ washing the feet of people who will soon deny Him, betray Him, and run in fear. That is the standard Jesus set. Peter even apposed. He's like nut-uh Jesus, no way should an employer wash the feet of the employee, or a teacher to the pupil, a minister to his church, or a Messiah was the feet of a fisherman. But, Jesus, in His wonderful wisdom lovingly retorted with8 "No," said Peter, "you shall never wash my feet." Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no part with me."Wow.It's amazing to be how people in this "igeneration" have gone to great extremes to show how much they "imatter" & for me, "iguilty."I dare you to count how many times you say "I" in one day, or hour. How many times are you thinking of yourself?I found out a pretty stunning stat during that sermon. You see,back in the dizzay, like 30s, 40s & 50s, there was like a 10% depression ratiobut, ever since the culture has moved to more of the pleasing yourselves and being egocentric and pride and stature. The depression ratio went up 30 percent. See, back in them days, even during the great depression people still helped other people with out fault or failure. No circumstance stood guard for the loving people's benevolence. Thank you Daniel for your wonderful lesson, Thank you Jesus Christ for being my Lord and Savior, and setting the example, and saving my life, my soul. Without Jesus, Dan. is.Less than dirt.JOHN 13 1-17Jesus Washes His Disciples' Feet
1It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love.[a]
2The evening meal was being served, and the devil had already prompted Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, to betray Jesus. 3Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; 4so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. 5After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
6He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"
7Jesus replied, "You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand."
8"No," said Peter, "you shall never wash my feet." Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no part with me."
9"Then, Lord," Simon Peter replied, "not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!"
10Jesus answered, "A person who has had a bath needs only to wash his feet; his whole body is clean. And you are clean, though not every one of you." 11For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said not every one was clean. 12When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. "Do you understand what I have done for you?" he asked them. 13"You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. 15I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 16I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
