Our culture stresses self made men an women, but the Apostle Paul, finds strength in the Lord, through Grace. A better ingredient for both men and women.
”Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me—to keep me from exalting myself! Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.“
2 Corinthians 12:7-10 NASB1995
We are ALL Created, EQUAL in his sight.
For HE is GOOD, HIS LOVE, endures forever.
Go is in Control, not us, and he cares deeply for us in our times of loss and grieving. Even when we don’t see him, HE IS WORKING, even when we don’t feel him, HE IS WORKING, He NEVER STOPS WORKING, HE NEVER STOPS WORKING.

Our Hope in You, King Jesus.

Philippians 2:7 – He took Position as a Slave
From: John MacArthur Study Bible.
Vs 7emptied Himself. From this Gr. word comes the theological word “kenosis”; i.e., the doctrine of Christ’s self-emptying in His incarnation. This was a self-renunciation, not an emptying Himself of deity nor an exchange of deity for humanity (see notes on v. 6).
Jesus did, however, renounce or set aside His privileges in several areas:
1) heavenly glory—while on earth He gave up the glory of a face-to-face relationship with God and the continuous outward display and personal enjoyment of that glory (cf. Jn 17:5);
2) independent authority—during His incarnation Christ completely submitted Himself to the will of His Father (see note on v. 8; cf. Mt 26:39; Jn 5:30; Heb 5:8);
3) divine prerogatives—He set aside the voluntary display of His divine attributes and submitted Himself to the Spirit’s direction (cf. Mt 24:36; Jn 1:45–49);
4) eternal riches—while on earth Christ was poor and owned very little (cf. 2Co 8:9); and
5) a favorable relationship with God—He felt the Father’s wrath for human sin while on the cross (cf. Mt 27:46; see note on 2Co 5:21). form of a bond-servant. Again, Paul uses the Gr. word “form,” which indicates exact essence (see note on v.
6). As a true servant, Jesus submissively did the will of His Father (cf. Is 52:13, 14). the likeness of men. Christ became more than God in a human body, but He took on all the essential attributes of humanity (Lk 2:52; Gal 4:4; Col 1:22), even to the extent that He identified with basic human needs and weaknesses (cf. Heb 2:14, 17; 4:15). He became the God-Man: fully God and fully man.

WITHOUT EXCUSE……..”COME TO JESUS, ALL YOU WHO ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND HE WILL GIVE YOU REST”, HE SAID. If you don’t know how to do this, the answer is simple. Jesus said, “pick up your cross, and follow him”. Believe in Faith, that he, Son of God, gave himself, to die for us, in our unrighteousness, that we might become righteousness before God.
