  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: much because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: for today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect

  Speaker 2: spaces this time will use the Relationships application. Okay, and

  Speaker 2: for those who do not have it, go ahead and
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: pick it up at your Daily Portion dot com and
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: also follow with us here. Okay. So we're using a
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: framework a win win wn W. What is most important
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: or what is important now? Choosing humility and avoiding selfish
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: ambition or conceit to work through challenges to unity. Sometimes
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: we hold on to too much. We are grasping for
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: power control. I don't know what it is our feelings
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: to be perfect according to our estimation, not worrying about
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: other people. And so we need to choose humility and
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: avoid selfish ambition or conceit to work through challenges of unity.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Internalize the insight whatever challenges to unity, the people of
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: God face a willingness to be humble and not do
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: anything through selfish ambition or conceit is a great way
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: to start working through the issues. Humility opens the door
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: to understanding, reconciliation, and cooperation. When you approach conflicts with meekness,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: that's power under control. With meekness and lowliness of mind,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: you reflect the character of Christ and create a space
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: for the Holy Ghost to bring unity. Remember, let this
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: And then we see that even though he's God one
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: hundred percent divine, just like the Father, just like the
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Holy Spirit, he took on human form, not saying are
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: you kidding me? Look at me, I'm divine, Like, why
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: would I go down? No, He took on himself the
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: form of a servant. And then humbled himself to death
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: upon the cross. Okay, And so this is that mindset
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: that God wants us to have. And so the next
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: best move then in relationships is to identify one challenge
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: to unity in your faith, fellowship, or community and take
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: a step toward addressing it with humility and willingness to
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: put aside selfish ambition or conceit. You know what you're thinking,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: you know what you're feeling when you're when you're seeing
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: things disunified. So please please just pray about that, and
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: don't just pray only also make your steps toward that outcome. Okay.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: And so now we will read just a little bit
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: of what is in the lesson for today and then
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: get some more application. Okay. So all paternal love which
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: was which has come down from generation to generation through
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: the channel of human hearts, all the springs of tenderness
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: which have opened in the souls of men, are but
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: as a tiny rill to the boundless ocean when compared
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: to the infinite, exhaustless love of God. Tongue cannot utter it,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: pen cannot portray it. You may meditate upon it every
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: day of your life. You may search the scriptures diligently
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: in order to understand it. You may summon every power
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: and capability that God has given you in the endeavor
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: to comprehend the love and compassion of the heavenly Father.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: And yet there is an infinity beyond. You may study
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: that love for ages, Yet you can never fully comprehend
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: the length and the breadth, and the depth and the
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: height of the love of God in giving his son
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: to die for the world. Eternity itself can never fully
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: reveal it. And on the quote continues, Hi, are you
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: sensing the love of God here? I read somewhere that
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: we will study this the plan of salvation throughout the
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: ceaseless ages of eternity. Can you imagine never being able
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: to drill to the final depth of the love of
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: God and all that He did to save you, to
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: save me from my sins? Praise God? Okay, and so
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: our lesson Number one in that regard is the love
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: of God is immeasurable, eternal, and beyond human comprehension. And
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: so I want you to invest a few minutes today today,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: while you are doing all kinds of preparation. Those of
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: you who are Sabbath keepers, I wish all of you
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: were but for whoever are Sabbath keepers. You may be
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: preparing your food for tomorrow, you may be preparing your clothing,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: You may be preparing your shoes, your bathroom, your living room,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: your stuff, your vehicle. But please do not miss preparation
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: of self. So invest a few minutes today meditating on
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: one aspect of God's love that overwhelms you with gratitude.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: And I just want you to rehearse that mindset, rehearse
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: that space when you are feeling in sensing gratefulness. I
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: want you to be present in that space and go
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: there as many times as it's necessary, because the living
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: down here on planet Earth, quite frankly, gives you a
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: lot of things that you think you should be complaining about,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: a lot of problems, trials and tribulations that put you
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: in the mind space of doubt and again complaints. If
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: we if we intentionally rehearse gratitude related to God's love,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: that will NULLI fly all complaints. Let's go to lesson
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: number two. The more we study Christ, the more humility
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: grows because his love reveals our true need. Let me
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: say like this, one of the reasons why his love
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: is so magnanimous is that a word is because the
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: love is delivering us from the depths of sin, and
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: we can't really estimate how far sin has dragged humanity
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: down until we see Jesus face to face, until we
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: see Adam again like the first atom again, the first
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: atom again, and see the breadth of the minds that
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: they had before we sind and the stature. We're gonna
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: actually see people at their original height. Can you imagine
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: what the people back then, the Antediluvian's how big and
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: strong they were, my goodness, And so Jesus humbled himself
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: and became obedient to death, even the death upon the cross,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: and he was self forgetful in his service. So we
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: need to practice one intentional act of lowliness, serve quietly
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: without expecting recognition. For the majority of you, maybe that's
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: not a big deal, but there is still a percentage,
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: maybe twelve percent of the world's population that really struggles
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: with this pride thing to the extreme. So please please
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: do that today and we'll continue tomorrow or really tonight
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: if they are phrase.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: every word that comes from the mouth of God. This
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: has been your daily portion with el David Harris make
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: it a great day. Yeah.
